True, but we all know who removed it for even younger children.


So why do we remember chants and protests in the street for the person
who finished the job, but not for the person who started it?

Because Thatcher removed it for small children first, in a previous Tory
government.

I think.

No, the point you need to understand is that Wilson was a traitor to
the Labour Party and an agent of the monetarists, and he started trying
to weaken the trade unions. Hence all the strikes. Now falsely
remembered as due to the strength of the unions, but really because of
the attacks on working class living standards. A Tory figurehead had
to be brought in to change trade union law, but only to continue the
attacks Wislon and Callaghan started. And to bribe sections of the
middle classes to support the plan. So it makes sense that Wilson
started withdrawing milk from secondary schools, as long as you realise
he was an early proto-Thatcher.

Why do you think the press spent so much energy convincing the mugs
they shouldn't vote for Foot or Kinnock? Probably because they
couldn't be sure to be able to bribe them to follow the monetarist
agenda. Who remembers now that the only solid thing the Sun could pin
on Foot was that he wore an insufficiently conservative coat to the
Cenotaph, but this was enough to get all the sheep to vote for the
slaugherer!
