saveourwater Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 NEWS RELEASE In February 2007 IOM Health Minister Eddie Teare announced that there would be a 12 month ‘public consultation’ on the issue of Water Fluoridation. The Isle of Man Campaign for non-Fluoridated Tap Water are opposed to this measure for several reasons and have been campaigning vigorously since Mr Teare’s announcement. We are pleased to announce the first public meeting on the issue and have managed to secure the services of one of the world’s leading experts on Fluoridation Dr Paul Connett. Dr Connett is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, St. Lawrence University, USA and co-founder of the Fluoride Action Network the worldwide coalition against Fluoridation. The meeting is scheduled for 7.30pm on Friday May 18th 2007 at the Loch Prom Church (Meeting Room), Loch Promenade, Douglas. Entry is free and everybody welcome.

Albert Tatlock Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Can't you hold it a bit more inland? With all this talk about flouride in the water I'm now suffering from aquaphobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Flynn Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 A gradual exposure to water Albert should help your sensitive nature. Unfortunately our sea is polluted and perhaps our drinking water is under threat from zealous health officials and others. I have no firm view on this topic and await the evidence. I believe groups who aid public consultation are doing a great service. I want to hear both sides of the argument - Government and any contrary or supporting positions.

starchild Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I suppose these people got my back up straight away. I don't go around shitting on their cars so I don't feel they should leave their shit on my car, under my windscreen wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camembert Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Is this the same Dr Connett who is strongly opposed to incinerators? Sounds like another Greenpeace nutter who's real agenda is to stop the chemical industry from receiving more public money. Take everything he says with a pinch of salt, preferably fluoridated, its better for your teeth. Oh yeah, dont use non-stick pans, Dr Connett will tell you they cause cancer...

If they can put something in the water to stop trolls I'm all in support of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that prevents a ginger child has got to be a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERED Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I heard the views of that arrogant, bigoted representative of the Health Authorities, (I think his name might have been Paul Emerson, and if he is not South African, I would be surprised!) regarding the fluoridation of the public water supplies, on today’s Mannin Line. Like many others, if I want fluoride, I can get it in the form of fluoride tablets or toothpaste, and not have it forced down my neck. Apparently – the Manx Government (no laughing at the back of the class, you lot!) will abide by the wishes of the electorate – “yeah, right”! I wish the anti-fluoridation organisations here on the IOM “good-luck”. They definitely have my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Why does the Government have to have consultations all the time? We elect this people, and pay them well, to make decisions, so why do they always come bleating to us shouting "urgh! I can't make my mind! Help!". These things only encourage the bee in the bonnet types to get all agitated and come bothering the public with crappily produced flyers and shouting about public meetings. Why does this need a one year public consultation, anyway? It only takes a second to see there's no reason to fluoridate water and say "no".

Mr Frank Smith Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I find the ginger comments offensive. My cat is ginger and so are my girlfriends pubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
