Shirley output is weaker and will spark growth fears. I read it on the BBC yesterday "weak data sparks UK growth fears" so it must be true and therefore there is no foundation to the NIESR data.

perhaps they meant that the data was weak, as in it isn't very good? :-).
Also I thought that manufactoring would prefer an increase in rates to be more competative with international competition.
...and don't call me Shirley.

I too trust the BBC in an almost religious 'blind faith' way. Everything they say is, as it were, 'Gospel'. The BBC are the light. NIESR must be the devil to suggest such straightforward, logical and, dare I say it, correct interpretation of the data.
