    sounds like BBC is doing damage control for mango mussolini.

    the “unexpected” part is that the 3% is above the expected 2.9% rate. they’re being coy; the title implies the increase is unexpected while the text shows it’s just a tenth of a point above the rate that was expected.

    the editors are not uneducated people. I bet they speak English pretty well. the wording is deliberately misleading.
