THANK you councillors. Common sense prevails. Congratulations on joining the anti-fluoride campaigners and the great Echo’s fluoride debate, in our struggle against mass medication, about to be enforced by the SHA via our tap water. Your U-turn vote will no doubt go down in history as a vote for democracy.

Regrettably, I fear, it will have no influence on Prime Minister Cameron who has offered his sympathy, but is supporting the SHA all the way to the tap. They are both responsible for this farce from the first public meeting, wasting thousands of pounds on a bogus public exercise programme, using the prevention of tooth decay as an excuse to implement and justify the dumping of industrial fluoride waste into our rivers.

This will save millions of pounds for the industries who now have to pay approximately £48 per ton to get rid of their poisonous byproduct.

They no doubt will be in a position to charge the water authorities for their fluoride waste to put into your drinking water.

Who will pay the bill? Democracy is dead if a bunch of quangoes can decide the fate of 72 per cent of our citizens who are against their enforced medication.

If saving our children’s teeth was the genuine issue two water fountains could have been installed in every school, one containing fluoride with instructions “mouth wash only, don’t drink”, the other containing water only – freedom of choice, democracy for children.

The adult population would be fluoride free (common sense at a fraction of the cost).

We don’t want fluoride or your sympathy Prime Minister. But you need our vote.

A WILLOTT, Lordswood.
