    Orwellian Eurospeak/Euphemisms

    1. "ECB's executive board member José González-Páramo rejects the idea that ECB bond buying is quantitative easing"

    Other EUphemisms:

    2. "Stability mechanism" - Making a country completeley unstable by screwing it into the ground so it is in depression and has no chance of paying its debts ever.
    3. "PSI (Private Sector Involvement)" -- screwing private sector investors into the ground so that they are completely uninvolved in getting paid back




    You couldn't make it up
    Hard Brexit now!

              Because, dumbkopf*, Orwell was a master at pointing out political phrases that are the exact opposite of reality.
