After...I would really like to see that QC Opinion!<br /><br />After some years of trying to find out the evidence, I have become convinced that my own water supplier <i>(South Staffs Water)</i> was not "an existing scheme" on 20/12/1984 <i>(as required by the 1985 Fluoridation Act)</i>. It had indeed "made arrangements" but no "work" <i>(as defined in the Act)</i> was done to "pursue" those "arrangements. That means it was NOT an existing scheme! Therefore it is an illegal scheme!<br /><br />Our water supply was not fluoridated until 1987 <i>(on an "agreement" signed in March 1982 - hardly likely is it?)</i>. And when I ask for the proof all I get is a copy of this 1982 "agreement".<br /><br />Souths Staffs supplies around 25% of fluoridated water in this country - IMHV illegally. The present state of my communications with them is that I have invoiced them for the costs of cleaning my water <i>(reverse osmisis equipment and maintenance)</i> and will withhold such costs from my next bill if payment to me is not forthcoming.<br /><br />So, you can see, a copy of this QC's judgement may be quite useful!<br /><br />I'm also contested the addition of potentially 2% other poisons and heavy metal impurities. They would of course argue that the levels remain below accepted limits - conforms to standards etc.,etc., But at the end of the day - if I put anything containing arsenic, mercury, lead, etc. into the water supply - even if it did not exceed limits at the tap, I would expect to probably end up in prison!<br /><br />For ten years I have been an Independent Borough councillor and fought each election on this issue. It's blatently obvious people don't want this poison in our water.<br /><br />This year I have got onto the County Council with exactly the same anti-fluoride message. In fact also onto the County Health Committee - which promptly failed to accept the topic for discussion <i>(one member being a Vice President of the British Fluoridation Society!)</i>!!<br /><br />It appears to me that areas that already have fluoridation have the politicians and bureaucrats all singing from the "Fluoride is wonderful" song-sheet and prepared to gag anything that says otherwise. The Hampshire news is great. But this is going to be a long battle for those areas who already have fluoride dosed into their water.Cllr Chris Cookenoreply@blogger.com
