It's also in stark contrast to their treatment of any good news which happens in the UK when it's either in spite of Brexit or caveated in some way with dire warnings about something or other.

One thing I'm grateful to Junker for however is his confirmation, if one were needed, that the EU is totally committed to more integration and that would be the reality if the UK doesn't get out while it can. By hook or by crook and with, I'm sure, the co-operation of certain of our own politicians who refuse to accept the Brexit vote, we would be inevitably drawn further into the whole thing making leaving or even reform of the EU a practical impossibility. That's of course what they all want and if we were to remain inside the EU doing so would become a priority for the Eurocrats. The EU refused reform even in the face of the club's second largest contributor and world's 5th largest economy leaving. How much less likely would they be to accept change were we to give in to their threats and remain?...

In a nutshell, yes.
