Экономика: Британия продолжает гибнуть

The Telegraph - Bank of England hikes UK economic growth forecasts but warns of rising inflation:

The Bank of England has upgraded its growth forecasts for the next three years as policymakers acknowledged the UK's economic performance had been "markedly stronger" than its gloomy predictions following the Brexit vote.

Bank officials expect the UK economy will grow by 2pc this year. This is up from a forecast of 1.4pc in November and just 0.8pc last August.

Growth in 2017 is now projected to be only slightly weaker than 2016, as well as the projection of 2.3pc growth for 2017 that officials forecast last May, ahead of the EU referendum.

Policymakers also raised their forecasts for growth in 2018 and 2019 to 1.6pc and 1.7pc respectively, from 1.5pc and 1.6pc in November.

The Telegraph - Two-thirds of child refugees screened by officials found to be adults, Home Office figures show:

Nearly two-thirds of "child" refugees who officials questioned about their real age were found to be adults, Home Office documents show.

Figures show that in the year to September 2015, 65 per cent of the child refugees who had their age disputed were found to be over 18.

 The Telegraph - Officials only challenge age of child refugees if they look over 25:
Officials are only challenging the age of child migrants if they look like they are over 25, The Daily Telegraph has learned as it emerged some of those claiming to be under 18 have already been proven to be adults...It also emerged that one of the first child refugees to arrive in Britain has been proven to be an adult. According to reports the man's fingerprints were already on the UK's biometric database, proving that he was older.

 

The fact he was on the database could mean that he had previously attempted to enter the UK or had a criminal record.

Nick Ferrari says public opinion would be so much most positive about child refugees if they looked like children, rather than the "men" that arrived last year.
