It's sometimes tricky to know whether John Rappoport is being inventive or whether he's actually being serious, but I do believe that this time he is in the serious camp.
As we have reported previously, the UK government has centralised the power to determine whether our local water supply should be fluoridated (obviously 'the man in Whitehall knows best'), and there seems to be no doubt that they want the whole country on the same page on this one - whether you think that page will say "fluoride for everyone" or "fluoride for no-one" is for to you to consider.
To aid your assessment John Rappoport relates the story of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the USA and their erstwhile position on the topic. I know that the UK is not an American state, but for practical political purposes on such issues we might as well be.
To my way of thinking, there is absolutely no reason why this decision should have been centralised further away from the consumer other than the lust to dictate everything (or certainly as much as possible) centrally, possibly to the advantage of the crony-capitalists. Let us hope that their inevitable incompetence will shine through quickly.
