Wow, I didn't realise Havoc was such a conspiracy nut.
Anyway, here in Manchester it varies. In my house (and most houses around here) it's always best to let the water run for a bit before filling up a glass, otherwise it's not as cold. The hot water is cloudy for some reason even though the cold water isn't and after a while of sitting out the cold tap water tastes of chlorine.

So you would be okay with breathable air being a sold commodity then? With the only way to obtain it and thus survive is by going to a store and buying a canister to help you through the month, or take off your mask and breath the smog outside and die at age 30?

Uh, you do realise that there is virtually no difference between that and how we live right now, right?

Fluoride itself is lethal to humans when ingesting about 10mg. Of course you could argue "well then don't ingest that much!", but anything that is toxic in such amounts should not be added to a basic need like water. And it's certainly not up to a government body to decide that people should ingest it for their health. If people want to do that, they are perfectly capable of adding it to their diet themselves. Water in the US has about 0.7mg per liter of water, so that's a pretty steady stream of the stuff you ingest if you drink enough water every single day.
I'm not a health nut by any stretch of the imagination, but stuff like this just irks me. It's not right to mess with the most basic of survival commodities like that.

In order to get chemical poisoning from water, the amount you would have to drink would probably kill you through brain damage before poisoning you. And that's assuming you didn't throw it up.
Don't be such a nob. Adding chemicals to water is perfectly acceptable, or would you rather we get parasites instead?

No, but access to safe and clean drinking water is a human right, and the UN specifically puts provisions that water must be made available in sufficient quantities, physically accessible for use, and affordable for all.

Surely you know that it isn't the case though? Only an idiot would think that everyone has access to clean drinking water.
