Why do they say such things?
Constant puzzle. Why do establishment types say dumb things? Who do they think they're fooling?
Biggest and worst example, of course, is the myth that QE/ZIRP was "meant to improve the economy." It wasn't, and Bugsy Bernanke SAID IT WASN'T. AT THE VERY START, HE SAID QE WAS DESIGNED TO BOOST STOCKS AND NOTHING ELSE. And he was right, because he knew what he was doing. Despite this, all the imperial media continue to tell us that QE is not working very well because it's SURPRISINGLY not having the desired effect.
New example in a BBC article on likely effects of Brexit vs non-Brexit. I shouldn't complain, since BBC has rather bravely restrained its MORE EMPIRE demon to write a halfway objective and unemotional piece ... but even so, why do they say this:
This is just human nature. Even a normal sane non-satanic organization would quietly forget those offers and resume the status quo. EU is insane and satanic, so it will clamp down FEROCIOUSLY after the prey is back inside its jaws.

A Remain vote will be received with a collective sigh of relief... [EU leaders] will be expected to fast-track the changes to the UK's membership negotiated by David Cameron earlier this year - including curbs on in-work benefits for EU migrants, safeguards for sterling and an opt-out from ever closer union.WHAT? Those concessions were solely designed to give Dave something to talk about. If Brexit fails, Dave no longer needs talking points.
This is just human nature. Even a normal sane non-satanic organization would quietly forget those offers and resume the status quo. EU is insane and satanic, so it will clamp down FEROCIOUSLY after the prey is back inside its jaws.

But, within hours, Mr Juncker had rubbished the Prime Minister’s suggestion he will be able to encourage more change within the EU. The unelected official told reporters in Brussels: “The British policy makers and British voters have to know that there will not be any kind of renegotiation.”Toldjaso.
