No, I don't think hey are. The Bank of England and the Government on the other hand, yes. Their predictions have been poor.

I was saying it would be 15% - turns out I got it wrong too - the Gov were saying 11%.

It's not hard to see the direction of travel.

Yes.

See also typical clickbait online, (at various times of the year). Biggest snowfall ever. Record low temperatures expected. 10,000 deaths predicated immediately if no further lockdown. Your boiler will stop working. As for newspapers - good news doesn't sell as many.

They aren't going to be far out with that one.

If you want a lower figure you need to talk to Farage, Johnson, Give, Rees Mogg and co., ask them where they usually get their figures from?
