According to the BBC's Environment correspondent on the BBC World Service last night. The amount of water used in the developing countries to produce and supply the West with food is totally unsustainable. For example, to make one cup of coffee, it takes 140 litres of water. Is this a time for any sane government to be poisoning this fast declining and vital resource? Ask, Brown, and Cameron if you get the chance and send their replies to this forum at fluoride@foe.co.uk and we will publish them.
Its also worth remembering that the politicians and wannabees who normally take absolutely no notice of anything that we the electorate say, are suddenly very interested and they are totally paranoid about the threat from the Lib Dems or the Scots Nats of having what they call a Hung Parliament and what the Lib Dems and the Scots Nats call a Balanced Parliament. The reason is a simple explanation of their typical hidden agenda. The New Labour gang and the Conservatives don't really want to be merely elected, they want a stonking great majority so that they can wield power, which is very different from the situation in a Hung Parliament.
With a big majority they can do exactly what they want and pass any old law they please, no matter how repressive and undemocratic it is. Both Thatcher and Blair's governments exhibited this tendency. Once elected any inconvenient mandate from their manifestos were forgotten and ridiculous privatisations were the rule of the day along with ID Cards, Biometric Passports, and a huge medical database, finger printing of children and compulsory DNA sampling for all and last but not least, compulsory mass medication of our dwindling fresh drinking water with the highly toxic and acidic crap currently vomiting from the Icelandic Volcano with the Unpronounceable name. (Its safe and effective you know! that's why they have also been putting it into children's milk and sanctioning Supermarkets such as LIDL as they add it to table salt. and if you look up into the gas cloud you will see yet another formation of flying pigs )
Its vitally important that we don't let them set a precedent by getting away with this and consequently, none of us should waste our votes by not voting, and never more so than at this coming election when the polls are so close. So, even if you totally despise the major parties, voting for the Welsh or Scots Nats or the Lib Dems, Independents or Greens will carry much more power than usual whilst at the same time robbing the big party megalomaniacs of their plans for domination and total control. For once we have a chance of being decisive and preventing the dinosaur parties of trampling all over us as they stampede for the latest expenses cheque.
Andy Atkins the Director of Friends of the Earth has this last week written to all members to point out that this time round the Environment has been virtually ignored. We have a chance to get our varied and justified environmental concerns and campaigns onto the political agenda and into the press so Please, Please don't waste this opportunity, put all candidates on the spot, demand coherent answers to our questions and a pledge to replacing just talking the talk with walking the walk and get all the major polluters whether in industry or Government on the Run.
