Answer 1

Answer 2

Maggie Thatcher took it away. That was the first thing she became famous for.

It would cost an awful lot - would we be willing to pay extra ?

I doubt it.

Answer 3

Yes. s***w Maggie Thatch.

Answer 4

Why not - we pay enough taxes.

Obviously the uneducated are about again - Lady Thatcher did not get rid of free school milk - yes she was schools minister and she voted AGAINST - its in Hansard - no I`m not going to give you a link - if I can find it, so can you - somehow though I doubt that you will, being labour luvvies and closet commies.

Answer 5

If the government brought back free milk not only would we all end up having to pay for it, but it would reduce the amount of milk in circulation, thus putting up the price of milk for everyone else.

Besides all that it's cruel to force children to drink milk everyday.
