Doug Cross in the Leicester Mercury

The following article appeared in the Leicester Mercury on 30 June. The site is www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk but we had difficulty in locating this article via the site search. However, it was forwarded to us. For more detail on the illegality of fluoridation, see Doug Cross' review of EU and UK legislation - www.npwa.freeserve.co.uk/cross_review.html.

For more detail on the fluoridation chemicals, see "It's Pollution, Stupid!" on www.npwa.freeserve.co.uk/pollution.htm. See items on the official lies, misrepresentation and scientific and political shenanegans surrounding fluoridation, on www.npwa.freeserve.co.uk/fluoride.html .

Several elected representatives have fallen for the fluoridation hype and imagine that they are entitled to vote to medicate their constituents! They forget that they have a DUTY to protect the rights of all of their constituents. The only way elected representatives CAN protect the rights of all of their constituents is to vote NAY in Parliament. There can be No Power Without Accountability, so we shall broadcast the names of all those who fail in their duty to protect our rights - and we shall do so in their own constituencies.

The NPWA has fought the longest running campaign in the United Kingdom (since 1960) and, on behalf of everyone in the UK - and particularly for more than a quarter of a million people (so far) who have joined our National Register of Objectors to Artificial Water Fluoridation - we are pledged to expose the lies and continue our vigorous campaign until all legislation permitting this totalitarian practice is dead on the floor of the House of Commons.

Now, please read the Doug Cross piece which appeared in the Leicester Mercury. And write to your Water Company telling them in no uncertain terms that they must NOT fluoridate the drinking water they supply to your house. Thank you. - J

Leicester Mercury, 30 June, 2003.

[Headline] Environmental Analyst Doug Cross has spent more than 30 years working for Governments and Agencies across the world.

Forget the wrangling over whether or not fluoridation works - that's all a smokescreen. Parliament is quietly trying to sneak in new legislation that will allow suppliers of your most essential substance - water - to add poisons to it. You will then be expected to pay for the privilege of buying the stuff.

You think I'm over the top, another scientific crank? Well, indulge me for a moment - I'm not arguing about science. Ask yourself this simple question - exactly what is the legal status of these chemicals that they want to add to our water supplies?

Did you know that fluoridation chemicals were once used as pesticides, or that they are registered as poisons under the 1972 Poisons Act, in the same group of toxic nasties as arsenic, mercury and paraquat?

The Government is determined to add registered poisons to drinking water to medicate everyone against bad teeth - even those folk with no teeth. Under European law, anything claiming to have medicinal properties must be registered as such, and tested for safety.

Dosing people - and especially children - with unregistered medicines that are recognised poisons is a complete denial of international codes of medical ethics. It sweeps away the controls on the excesses of the State secured by the Human Rights Convention.

Ignore the medical hype - you have the absolute right to refuse to allow the State to poison you or your children. Refuse fluoridation.
