Maria Hutchings, Conservative Prospective MP for Eastleigh, Hampshire Against Fluoride campaigners and Chris Rhodes, County Council Candidate ask for YOUR support!

 
Is it any wonder that people are apathetic about consultations and the democratic process?

Saturday afternoon I went to a public meeting held by Hampshire Againt Fluoride. Quite rightly, campaigners were appalled that the SHA had decided to proceed with the fluoridation of  Southampton’s tap water, including parts of the constituency of Eastleigh.

 72% of respondents to the recent consultation said NO to fluoridation and yet they have been ignored. This makes a mockery of British democracy.

Scientific reviews point to the evidence on the safety of fluoridation to be inconclusive, yet we are to be subjected to mass medication. The American Association of Dentists, on their website, advises mothers feeding infants up to one year old with formula, NOT to use tap water which has been fluoridated. It will be interesting to see whether this will be fully communicated to mums in the area, if at all.

This whole fiasco explains the apathy of voters. The people feel truly impotent.

I fully support HAF and their stirling campaign. To sign their petition visit http://hampshireagainstfluoridation.blogspot.com/
