DAVID ROSE, VETERAN CAMPAIGNER DIES SUDDENLY

It is with very great sadness that I have to announce the death of my friend and co-campaigner Mr David Rose, of Colne in Lancashire. He was founder and Chairman of the Millennium Green Trust. a long term member of Friends of the Earth at both the National and Local Group levels, and A tireless campaigner against pollution in its many forms, for wildlife habitats, and against planning outrages, and the red tape which often protected polluters. It goes without saying that he was a reader and contributor to this blog and our mailing list at ( fluoride@foe.co.uk )
When FoE and local groups and residents halted the building of the M65 extension through Colne, it was his inspiration and hard work which led to the transformation of motorway-blighted land in the town, into the Colne Millennium Green which now provides a green lung and excellent community amenity. I and many others here and on various campaign networks will miss his creative energy, his wit and his companionship and we send all our condolences and blessings to his wife and his daughter.

No offence was intended to you Mary, As a health and environmental campaigner I spend a lot of time on research of dental health and therefore cannot stand idly by whilst people make incorrect and absurd generalisations about dental health in Europe. These must be challenged to prevent them being injured and/or exploited by corporate and vested interests. The comment was not aimed at you but at Becca one of your posters, who would be advised to not dish out ill considered and offensive remarks if she is not prepared to receive similar responses. I would presume you have also asked her to refrain from commenting further. Here the matter ends.

YOU ARE SO RUDE! I DO NOT WANT YOU REFERRING ANY OF YOUR COMMENTS TO ANY OF MY READERS. She is my sister you jack ass, and it was a joke between the two of us! Stop commenting on people's personal blogs!

YOU ARE A RUDE, PRIDEFUL, KNOW-IT-ALL AND SHOULD LEAVE YOUR OPINIONS TO YOUR OWN BLOG INSTEAD OF COMMENTING ON PEOPLE'S BLOGS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
