So I became a councillor. Still got no idea what goes on in their heads!!<br /><br />Having pushed the fluoride issue locally I can sense something almost like fear in other councillors that they should have to face the evidence.<br /><br />In my latest attempt to put a YouTube video around several local authorities of a Dr Connett interview, only two responded <i>(by email)</i>.<br /><br />One, from my own <i>(fluoridated)</i> authority, said almost childishly that he refused to watch anything I send him. Perhaps he was still smarting from our local petition success which has now forced the Council to hold a fluoride scrutiny and get some policy?<br /><br />The other from another authority saying. "You are wrong - fluoride is the best thing since sliced bread". A man of few words indeed! No logic nor argument required of course.<br /><br />Such people get their political power mainly through one reason only, that people haven't a clue who they are voting for and vote for a party label <i>(which gives exactly the same sort of weak politians no matter whichever the party)</i>. The only why to change this is to put up Independent candidates <i>(who are against fluoride of course)</i>, and fight those councillors who seem to be the peer group leaders. Don't let them get away with it!<br /><br />I fought the election this year on the anti-fluoride ticket - people will vote for you because of it. Especially <i>(I would have thought)</i> in Southampton right now.<br /><br />The party politicians may then pretend to "take your views on board" Don't trust them! -<b><i> don't believe a word they say!!!!!</i></b> Get your real supporters onto the council.Cllr Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214184469431175308.post-39405546960062536602011-09-08T17:49:09.494+01:002011-09-08T17:49:09.494+01:00In preparing your talk, Councillor Noon, you might...In preparing your talk, Councillor Noon, you might like to ponder on the inconvenient fact that recommending a product to the public with the claim that is provides 'massive' medical benefits - or indeed, any medicinal properties - is, in the absence of a medicinal marketing authorization, regarded in some legal circles as a criminal offence (Medicines Act 1968). Fluoridated water doesn't have that licence, Councillor. Enjoy your meeting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
