School Milk

David Cameron has moved fast to shut down this absurd proposal from one of his junior ministers. This was an insensitive gaffe from a faction of the government that sees cuts as a virility symbol. Of course we have to have cuts, but  taking the milk from little children is politically barmy. If it is that bad, the vast majority would say bring the troops home and save the money (and brave lives),  if we cannot afford to nourish our toddlers. 

Any minister who cannot see that, should not only get out of the government, but get out of politics as well. As for this ridiculous phrase ‘there is no evidence to show….’ It is meaningless. You can use it the other way round. ‘There is no evidence to show that milk does not do little children good’.  Dear me.
