When your analogies are turned against you, showing that your analogy was facetious and incomplete, you start conspiracy theories.Not all are well known, it was in the EU's interests to have suppressed bad news about unstable member economies until it had become impossible to hide the facts. That might still be the case, maybe the EU is not financially healthy and the loss of the UK's contributions could be the final straw that breaks the EU financial camel's back.
Is it therefore any wonder that the EU is doing all it can to ( covertly ? ) disrupt the processes in the UK parliament in order to try and delay the day when the EU has to balance it's budgets without UK's contributions.
And the gullible believe your conspiracy theories.
