The reverse of (psycho)analysis

One of the Frankfurt lads (Fromm? Adorno?)  defined ideology as the reverse of psychoanalysis, and you can apply the notion to bits of Project Fear, although they operate in a really rather crude way. This story from the Guardian is an example:

UK economy shrinks after Brexit car factory shutdowns

Vehicle output falls by 24% as firms including BMW and Peugeot pause production

The headline link between Brexit and factory shutdowns, falling outputs etc is designed to establish a woolly connection instead of isolating Brexit as a factor among others (which everyone knows about ,so I don't know why they are bothering).

The story itself begins with:

According to the Office for National Statistics, gross domestic product (GDP) plunged by 0.4% in April from a month earlier as factories across the country launched a wave of planned shutdowns to avoid any disruption that could have been unleashed by a no-deal Brexit...While economic growth had strengthened as factories rushed to stockpile materials ahead of the deadline, the latest snapshot from the economy shows that production slumped after the target date passed.

So the link is between falling production and uncertainty about the date of Brexit, mostly? There is another issue relating to the date. 

[Some] factories were closed [temporarily] to protect against potential Brexit disruption...Jaguar Land Rover staged a week-long factory shutdown as part of its plans for Brexit in April. BMW and Peugeot also brought forward annual maintenance stoppages that usually take place in the summer

There is particularly strategically muddled bit next:

UK car manufacturers have struggled amid faltering demand for exports from China and elsewhere overseas as the world economy slows, and from tighter restrictions on diesel engines, several firms said they would temporarily halt activity due to Brexit while some said they would ultimately close factories altogether, with thousands of job losses.

So are the permanent closures down to Brexit or to the faltering world (and domestic) demand? Whereas analysis might try to separate the two, partly to calm fears, ideology slurs them together.
