Does someone have to be killed in Spalding Market Place?
FLOURIDE
Stopping this process has several positives
I’m glad to read that Lincolnshire is stopping water fluoridation, as this may have several positives.
Fluoridation is wasteful and expensive as less than 1% of tap water is drunk by children. Most water is used by industry and for washing, laundry, watering gardens etc.
Some 99% of money spent on fluoridation is literally money down the drain!
Fluoride can cause dental fluorosis – permanent mottling of teeth.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said no new fluoridation schemes should be begun until total fluoride intake is measured, but this was not done.
We receive fluoride from industrial pollution, pesticides, anti-depressants and other medical drugs. Many people’s fluoride body levels are above WHO safety limits.
The chemical used in water fluoridation is fluorosilicic acid – toxic waste from phosphate fertiliser factory chimney scrubbers.
It’s more poisonous than lead and isn’t pharmaceutical grade, unlike that in toothpaste. In Lanarkshire, tooth decay is greatly reduced by the “ChildSmile” scheme where young children clean their teeth properly each day in school.
Medication should be prescribed individually – not given en-masse with no control over dosage received. It’s unethical to fluoridate everyone regardless of need, health or choice.
You can’t opt out when it’s in tap water so there is no informed consent.
It would be preferable and less costly to give free fluoride toothpaste to any child deemed to need extra fluoride, than to fluoridate the whole water supply.

TRAFFIC
Does someone have to be killed?
I went to the Spalding Tuesday market recently, entering by walking past the South Holland Centre from Broad Street.
As I did, I passed a barrier across the road stopping traffic.
I had used the cash machine when I absent mindedly turned and almost walked into a van. The driver had moved the barrier and gone through.
I couldn’t put it out of my mind that what if there was an accident?
Would the van be insured, would the council be liable and more importantly what about me if I ended up hospitalised?
As usual in this world does someone have to be seriously injured or killed before action is taken.
