The new Bank of England inflation report is out.

Guardian headline: "Bank of England governor dampens hopes of swift UK recovery"

Times headline: "Bank of England talks up hopes of strong recovery"

(The Times seems nearer the mark; the report increases the GDP and inflation forecasts. I think the Guardian made the mistake of listening to Mervyn King's spin rather than actually reading the report.)

Although, of course, there's a difference between the original phrase "putting his spin on things" and the modern "spin", although the two are obviously related. If you meant the former then I take it all back :->
