The dangers of Dental Amalgam fillings (Mercury Poisoning)

Yh this was a issue a little while back here in England and most places
But I think there are certain dentist that remove safely now and replace with the proper ones
I've never been dentist since me ma used to drag me alone buy the ear
But she was persistent lol.
{Ed033's Note - Plenty of dentists have no clue and recommend not only toxic fluoride but also place the most toxic substance known to man i.e. mercury (outside of radioactive materials) in people's teeth.

I would not doubt that at all ed I just remembered reading similar somewhere and then reading a bit about the removal
But as u say most are clueless
But then again ed its probably similar to when car manufacturers make parts fail in a car to have to be fixed witch in turn needs something else done
It makes them money and over time alone more than the initial outlay.
{Ed033's Note - There's probably loads of corrupt dentists, who would put in a mercury filling, only to replace it 6 months later for a more aesthetic non mercury filling. Had that done to myself.

But of all things you could use to block a hole
Why mercury?
Apart from the obvious.
{Ed033's Note - Exactly, just because it can do the job doesn't mean you use it. They knew all along it was a completely toxic substance and super harmful to humans.

Just found out that you have to go on line to register to vote for EU referendum. Cannot remember if this has been discussed before on the site, so just a reminder to everyone to register. Some democracy we live in.
Thanks.

This is partly true, if you voted in your local elections you don't have to register as you registered automatically when you registered for you local elections. It stems from a Facebook post that someone has been sharing and is similar to the vote to stay supporters and stiring things up.

Anyone watch the recently finished Line of Duty - quite near the knuckle for the BBC. Echoes of Lord Janner, operation Yewtree, police coverups at the highest level, similarities to The Elms guest house etc. Worth a watch.

So I spent a couple of days in Germany this week and was watching BBC world news (only channel in english) and there was stories about Poland protests and the same in Greece (far worse situation) . So upon returning today I thought I'd see how it was reported and it seems like it hadnt. Both would put the EU in a horrible light. I'm happy to be proved wrong but if they haven't reported it this is going a little too far for me.

The powers that be won't allow the reporting of people in other eu counties being fed up to the back teeth with the state of Europe, they are panicking and really worried about us pulling this sham apart,
If we leave the eu I'll give it 15 yrs tops before it completely falls apart.

I thought it was the case, I later checked the bbc and it is in the Europe section half way down. But the Greece story will have massive repercussions (possible bankrupcy/ need bailing out) and Poland was the biggest protests in their country since 1989. So not small news by any stretch, why can't we just get the news as it is and be allowed to form our own opinions?

The answer: the governments would be shown for the farce they are and how we are all just cogs in the machine.

If the UK votes to leave the Dutch and the Danish certainly and possibly the Swedish too would ask for their own referendums. If they all left it would collapse as its the rich northern countries who fund the project. The Mediterranean counties have been creaking for years and the eastern countries are still rebuilding after the communist period. These are the ones most desperate to keep it going as they benefit the most.

If Donald Trump becomes U.S. President, half of all Americans would not pay any income tax at all. Also, all businesses would pay no more than 15% of business income in tax.
Wall Street and the Super Rich would pay for this.

Even though he isn't any better than the rest
I've actually found I have been rooting for him just on the comedy aspects
Even though he would cause worse elsewhere
I think hillary looks better option but she will be the sly thing we have already in politics everywhere

Not sure if trump would follow through with what he says in regards to taxes and such
With the Mexican wall lol I don't even know enough about him to say if he will or not
And the Muslim thing it's wrong
But u got to ask would this actually help or make it worse for them
But it's quite fun to watch anyway.
{Ed033's Note - With Hillary saying she would have shot down Russian jets flying over Syria, Hillary is not the best option as it appears that she would attempt to start WW3, just to prove she's tougher than any man.

And that ain't all that sly
I do agree she would start world war 3
The elite are trying hard enough already
I was trying to say trump would be the choice I would choose but I write like a divy

Wot do you think Vladimir angle has been I see on the victory day he was talking about working with the other super powers
Smoke and mirrors Mabey
Or do you think he is actually being legitimate
I've been watching what he says quite a lot
And with the Syria thing and the other bits and pieces
It seems he doesn't want to have a war again
But then again Was the reason he showed his latest military weapons
A show to the ones tempting it
Sorry if didn't make sense.

No one in Russia wants a war. The devastation caused by the last one is still fresh in peoples minds or at least in the generation that runs things. But not wanting to fight is different to being unwilling to fight. And this would be a fight with no winners.

If you don't mind me pointing out ed07 and I must say I agree largely with your posts and could never understand the sectarianism that you have seen but I have experienced some awful abuse from some Scottish folk. Working in oil and gas and working with plenty of guys north of the border I have been spat at called all the names under the sun and I do understand that you get idiots and in no way am I suggesting that it's wide spread but I was shocked that the hatred was stronger than I expected and it was more than 50% (of the people I met! Maybe I was just unlucky) I got all the same thing told to F off and go work back in England and all the usual tripe to some that wouldn't even speak to me! I took it in my stride and didn't make a fuss (and tried to joke about it which didn't go down well lol) the reason I mention it is because I didn't realise the hate that still does exist and it took me completely by suprise, I thought it was friendly banter but three weeks working off the Shetlands and it was a nightmare and I eventually came and found work in dorset. It's always the few that make it difficult for the sane people who want to get on.

 

{Ed007's Note - I can understand that and totally believe it although I have never seen much anti-English feeling I know it has went on - but did you blame the Scots for not you getting a house, did you say Scots prisoners are treated better than others etc etc and all the other anti-muslim garbage Southampton87 was coming out with?
I'd love to know who/where/when has been discriminating against white British for along time'.'
The Irish, Afrcans, Indians, North American Indians, the Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia, the list goes on and on but you'll be hard pushed to find any 'discriminating against white British for along time'. The British are even guilty of discriminating against other White British people.
I left college at 18 and started doing an 3 year apprenticeship as a plater/welder working CNCs etc and I had a boss immediately above my gaffer who never spoke to me in 3 1/2 years because I was a Catholic. Ask Ed001, when we've been talking about racism I've told him Scots have no time for racsim, we're too busy trying to find out if you're a Catholic or a Protestant.
Jimmy: "I see there's one of those Muslim guys started up in the top machine shop".
Johnny: "Is he a Catholic Muslim or a Protestant Muslim but?"
That's a true story I heard 2 guys having outside my office one day, when I worked in the engineering game.
The further north you go the worse the anti-English feeling is, down in places like Glasgow and Edinburgh nobody would bat an eye-lid.
Anyway, according to Southampton you shouldn't be up here in Scotland stealing our jobs and taking up our prison spaces. ;)

I worked in London the 80s and 90s, I got descrimated against, even though I'm from the south I was seen as a northern terrorist, but I had to grin and bare it get my head down, there was nothing in Ireland for me at the time, and I can safely say thenough worst jobso I had was working in the buildings for Irish companies, back breakers, and the worst ones are the connemara boys from the west, best companies I worked for were English boys, ironically my best mate was a fanatic Millwall boy, there I was a manchester united, celtic fan with a Milwall, rangers fan, I went to the den a few times with him and he used to say to me don't talk when we go in here, my irish accent would have got me in trouble in there, I couldn't go in to some of his local pubs, I bought him to cork for a few days and their I saw him getting descrimated against cause of his cockney accent, but we thought it was funny, he was lucky my mother liked him.

I grew up in the north of Ireland in the 70s was a young adult in the 80s . My first experience of meeting a coloured person was when I was maybe 8-10 years old 71-73. He had a uniform on and along with is mates was kicking the bejazus out of a couple of older boys. It left an impression on me. For a few years I assumed black people in England were soldiers looking to harm us.
Thanks to my father and a couple of teachers I've learned that 1 coloured soldier doesn't represent all coloured people but the uniform represented an oppressive army.
In to modern life, my work has taken me all over Ireland and the UK. In Scotland as you say ed due to my birth place the old, what team do you support was usually 1 of the first questions asked. In the north the old what's you name and where are you from, Travelling to England esp Manchester airport and Holyhead port you got more attention than you really wanted.
What I've discovered this last while is a quite a few of the "Irish" 2nd 3rd generation are pretty hostile towards immigrates and not really grasping onto the whole Irish spread around the world thing and how famine and war forcrd their generations before to flee there native land.
By far the most shocking display of racism I've come across is at present on the building sites of London atm where there is an open display of hostility towards coloured people from the Eastern European contingent. Its a world wide problem which stems from over nationality and over religious thoughts planted by the system as a method of control.

The plight of the Mexicans along the invisible line is another thing. White "Americans" force fed untruths and openly hostile to a race that not only existed long before an European set foot on their soil but had a civilization way beyond anyone else on the planet.
Trump feeds on America's insecurities and no doubt he has ample support amongst the Irish American community.

A mind-blowing video as in, how open & honest they talk, a tv show made by channel 4 called after dark in the 1980s where they get a group of people who have something to do with the topic.
The topic they talk about in this video is British intelligence and I was really shocked how this got airtime ,
Not a cats in hell chance this would get on mainstream tv today, in fact I doubt it would get on alternative media as some of the things they mention , it goes on for 3 hours but its well worth it.

Subjects mentioned
Mountbatton
Hilda murrel death
Kincora boys school

Can anyone actually believe what has supposedly been found in the so called IS files concerning Syrian and Russian cooperation with Isis.
People have been pointing out, almost from day one that these so called jihadist's have been trained and funded by western powers and its never' I'm pretty sure ever been alluded to in the mainstream media, I might be wrong, yet this is all over the place.
I can imagine that if these files were ever made available publicly they would be redacted to death to protect certain governments and high ranking individuals.
