ON Monday (September 8) there will be a Second Reading of the New Water Bill which has several amendments, one of which seeks to compel water companies to fluoridate the public water supply.
MPs now have the opportunity to restore confidence in democracy by casting their vote in accordance with the wishes of their constituents.
They must also take into account the spiritual convictions of the ethnic people and respect their spiritual rights.
To uphold these two principles means that they record a 'no' vote against this amendment and not abstain, which could be construed that they have ignored their constituents' wishes.
The Strategic Health Authorities should never be given the power to compulsory medicate communities. It would be tantamount to medical fascism.
