Hampshire Against Fluoridation represents the 72% of concerned local people who responded with a resounding NO to having industrial grade fluoride added to their drinking water. The decision by unelected board members of the South Central Strategic Health Authority to go ahead despite this strong and cogent opposition has meant there has been widespread anger and disillusionment. Trust in local democracy and in the health authorities has been seriously damaged.
This week there are elections both locally in Hampshire and across Europe for the EU. Although Hampshire Against Fluoridation is not politically aligned, John Spottiswoode, Chairperson said: “HAF are happy to work with any political party that opposes water fluoridation and we will actively support individuals with a strong commitment to keep fluoride out of our drinking water. We have had very positive and helpful support from several senior politicians. In particular we would like to commend the following for their active work in the fight against fluoridation:
Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP, who has taken up the fluoridation issue in Europe
Councillors Anna McNair Scott and Alan Dowden of Hampshire County Council who helped gain unanimous opposition to fluoridation from Hampshire Councillors.
Dr Julian Lewis, Conservative MP for New Forest East
Sandra Gidley, Liberal Democrat MP for Romsey
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat MP for Eastleigh
John Spottiswoode continued: “As water fluoridation is a government policy, it has meant that a misguided politically motivated decision to fluoridate has been made in Southampton . Therefore we need political change and Hampshire Against Fluoridation is willing to work with politicians who strongly oppose fluoridation from across the political spectrum. We will also assist them to replace pro-fluoridation politicians at all levels of government. By working together on this issue and putting party politics to one side, the group hope to join forces with local politicians to focus on the important campaign of keeping our area’s drinking water supply fluoride free.
Ends.
