A Brixit, a Brexit, EU concerned about a British exit

David Cameron and Jean Claude Juncker

There are concerns in the EU and UK that British Prime Minister David Cameron’s opposition to the nomination of Jean Claude Juncker to become the next European Commission president has increased the possibility of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union:

28 June 2014

David Cameron has been offered an olive branch over Britain’s place in Europe by the leaders of Germany and Sweden after his defeat over the nomination of Jean-Claude Juncker as European commission president.

The prime minister was told by the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, that she was “ready to address British concerns”, while Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister, acknowledged that closer union was “not the best for everyone”. Both countries backed the nomination of Juncker, who is thought to favour further European integration. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/28/angela-merkel-david-cameron-juncker-sweden-reinfeldt

Loser Cameron branded ‘the Rooney of Europe’: PM warns Britain is in a ‘war’ with EU after leaders railroad through appointment of arch-federalist Juncker…

German media wasted no time in using Mr Cameron’s defeat to ridicule both him and the England football team. Newspaper Bild said he ‘is becoming more and more the Wayne Rooney of EU politics: he lines up, he loses, he goes home’…

Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb said people in Britain who want to leave the EU should ‘wake up and smell the coffee’.

He added: ‘The EU is a very good thing for the UK. Over 50 per cent of the trade of the UK goes to the EU.’…

Former minister John Redwood said: ‘This episode has reminded all in the UK that the EU is not “coming our way”.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2671985/Angry-Cameron-warns-European-leaders-consequences-Cognac-breakfast-Brussels-fixer-Jean-Claude-Juncker-given-EUs-job.html#ixzz35yVfKOuh

David Cameron has told EU leaders they may live to regret the appointment of Jean-Claude Junckeras president of the European commission, warning them of the grave consequences on public opinion in Britain.The British prime minister, who told EU leaders that the appointment of Juncker marked a “sad moment”, tweeted his frustrations from the summit in Brussels. “I’ve told EU leaders they could live to regret the new process for choosing the commission president. I’ll always stand up for UK interests.”

In some of the strongest remarks by a British prime minister at an EU summit, Cameron condemned a “backroom deal” to appoint Juncker, who was being “railroaded” through against the wishes of two EU member states: Britain and Hungary.

Cameron, who warned of “wafer thin” support for all things Europe in Britain, told EU leaders over lunch at their summit in Brussels: “[Jean-Claude Juncker] is the ultimate Brussels insider who has been at the table for the last two decades of decisions. If you want change, is that the type of person you want for the future?”

The prime minister indicated that Juncker’s appointment would increase support for a British exit from the EU. His warnings came as Ed Miliband said Cameron was facing “utter humiliation” over the issue. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/27/david-cameron-eu-jean-claude-juncker

LONDON—British Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday the task of keeping the U.K. in the European Union has grown harder after European leaders easily outvoted him to nominate former Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker as the next European Commission president.

But Mr. Cameron, who has pledged to renegotiate the U.K.’s relationship with the EU and then hold a national referendum on Britain’s membership in the bloc under the new terms, said he would work with Mr. Juncker even though the imminent appointment has stiffened Mr. Cameron’s resolve to make changes in the EU…

“On Europe, David Cameron has now become a toxic prime minister,” Mr. Miliband said in a message on Twitter. http://online.wsj.com/articles/cameron-juncker-choice-makes-it-harder-to-keep-u-k-in-reformed-eu-1403890327

Many in the EU are offended by the way that David Cameron handled this, and suspect that the British do not fit with their vision of a united Europe. Many in the UK see all this as proof that the UK needs to leave the EU.

If David Cameron pushes too hard in the future, the EU will help him find the door out of the EU. The EU also may, for a time, be a bit more accommodating to some of his requests–but only to a point.

If David Cameron or anyone believes that the real direction of the EU is in something other than towards total integration they are deceiving themselves.

The departure of the UK from the EU has been called a Brixit or Brexit, meaning a British exit. Here are some news items related to that, with one in Dutch machine-translated into English:

28 June 2014

Britain took another step towards the EU exit door as David Cameron warned that Jean-Claude Juncker’s appointment to the top job in Brussels would make it harder to persuade the public to remain in the 28-nation bloc…

Mats Persson, director of the Open Europe think tank, said: “The Juncker episode is clearly a substantial defeat for David Cameron, and without remedy, increases the risk of Brexit [from the EU]. However, it is far from the end of the story for sweeping European reform.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/uk-edges-closer-to-eu-exit-as-cameron-crushed-in-bid-to-block-jeanclaude-junckers-leadership-9568749.html

David Cameron becomes Hero of Eurosceptics as Brexit Beckons After Juncker Defeat in Brussels http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/david-cameron-becomes-eurosceptics-hero-brexit-beckons-after-juncker-defeat-brussels-1454493

Dreigt er nu een Brixit?
De reden dat Merkel en andere regeringsleiders de benoeming van Juncker in het begin nog een beetje openhielden, was dat zij de Britten niet uit de unie wilden jagen. Cameron dreigde met een Brixit (Britse exit). Nu hij zijn zin niet krijgt en met zijn dreigementen zijn hand lijkt te hebben overspeeld, kan de roep in eigen land om een Brixit nog groter worden. http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/06/26/vandaag-begint-een-cruciale-eurotop-wat-staat-er-op-het-spel/

Threatens now Brixit?
The reason that Merkel and other leaders backing the appointment of Juncker at the start did not want this in the open was because they did not want to fight. From the proposal Britian’s Cameron threatened a Brixit (British exit). Now that he did not get his way with his threats, his hand seems to have overplayed, and now the call in his own country to a Brixit can be even greater.

As far as the UK’s role in the future, as I have written several times before, the UK will not remain a major power in the final European configuration. The UK will be taken over and essentially devoured by the Beast power. And it may well leave prior to its final formation. Notice also the following from various writers who were once part of the Church of God (three of which have since died):

Here is Britain trying to GET IN on this uniting of Europe! … It is this same daughter of ancient Babylon who is to lay the YOKE of captivity and slavery on America and Britain. … Britain is allowing it self to get mixed in with European foreigners… When God brings Britain DOWN-the rime of JACOS’ S TROUBLE -the only time when the DAUGHTER of Babylon will be sitting astride a united MILITARY EUROPE. (Armstrong HW. BRITAIN’S DOOM Prophesied for Common Market Seeking Membership! Plain Truth, July 1962)

Perhaps it should be mentioned that the general position within the Churches of God is that Britain will not remain in the EU and will pull out at some point. (Thiel B. Tony Blair a Catholic EU Leader? Church of God News, June 26, 2007. https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/tony-blair-a-catholic-eu-leader/)

The English-speaking nations will not prosper for long in connection with this system, however. In fact, they will ultimately be overpowered and destroyed by it militarily. Prior to military attack and occupation, devastating weather problems, combined with internal civil strife (“tumults in the midst” cf. Amos 3:9) will bring our nations to the point of internal collapse. (Ogywn J. The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy. Booklet, Charlotte (NC)).

It should be understood that ultimately, Britain will NOT thrive as part of the EU but will be taken over by the final European Beast power–yet its former Prime Minister is promoting something that will not help the peoples of the UK. (Thiel B. Tony Blair Calls for a Strong, Elected, EU President Church of God News, June 9, 2007. https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/tony-blair-calls-for-a-strong-elected-eu-president/)

Bible prophecy clearly shows that Britain will not be one …comprising the final United States of Europe (McNair R. A Strong United Europe. Tomorrow’s World, February 1970, p. 17).

The Bible shows that Europe will have at least three reorganizations (see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?).

Yet, whether it is called a Brixit or a Brexit, in some way, some day, the United Kingdom will exit.
