DEMANDS were growing last night for Britain to act to halt Germany’s relentless march towards creating a European superstate.
Fury erupted after German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday cranked up her plans for political union.
On the day she met David Cameron in Berlin to try to tackle the eurozone crisis, she declared:
“We need more Europe. We don’t only need monetary union, we also need a so-called fiscal union. And most of all we need a political union, which means we need to gradually cede powers to Europe and give Europe control.”
Her comments added weight to the Daily Express crusade to get Britain out of the EU. And they triggered a chorus of calls for the Prime Minister to stand up to Germany’s desire to dominate.
Tory MP Philip Davies said: “The euro is beyond fixing, it is a busted flush. The sooner they accept that the better. We don’t need more politics to sort the problem. This Soviet-style political project has failed.”
Fellow Conservative backbencher Douglas Carswell said:
“The German taxpayer is going to be extremely reluctant to take on eurozone debt.
“What we are seeing is a deluded European elite resisting failure at all costs.”
Ms ¬Merkel’s remarks highlighted a growing rift with non-euro member Britain.
At their meeting later, Mr Cameron pledged he would not ask British taxpayers to underwrite the debts of ailing banks in Greece and Spain.
The Prime Minister said he had “no doubt” that the 17 nations of the eurozone would move towards closer fiscal union within the next weeks and months.
But he made clear Britain would not be involved in any such arrangement
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
