Peter Black has long been known as a campaigner against fluoridation of our water supply. (See his entry "The fluoride state" for February 9th on his blog)
He is not alone. One of our own members wrote recently:
Once again, I have read that there is a call from some politicians, and so-called “professors” to introduce fluoride to the water supply, but only in deprived areas. This is a quote taken from this BBC link
Of course this isn't for everyone - it won't be necessary in the wealthier home counties for instance.
I am extremely concerned about this proposal, as I have done extensive research into the affects of fluoride in children. The fluoride that’s added to the water supply is a highly toxic waste product from the fertilizer industry, and its affects on children can be devastating. (But, hey, as long as they die with no cavities, what’s the problem?)
Modern science shows that adding fluoride chemicals into water supplies is ineffective at reducing tooth decay, harmful to health and a waste of money.

Any rudimentary look in to our situation shows it is just a ploy to be seen to be doing something, while not actually tackling the problem.
