BBC oops or wishful thinking?


As you can see above, the BBC's 'Most Popular - Read' articles include one headlined 'UK Economy 'set to slow sharply' which is odd as the headline on the linked page is 'UK economy grows a faster-than-expected 0.8%'

The BBC are forced to report through gritted teeth that:
'The UK's economy grew at 0.8% between July and September, official figures show, suggesting the economy is recovering faster than expected.

It follows 1.2% growth in the second quarter of the year, and is double the 0.4% expected by analysts.'

The rest of the BBC piece is dedicated to 'talking down the economy' but more about that later...
