It was a good idea when introduced as many kids in inner city areas had little or no dairy products in their diet and showed the effects of malnutrition. Rationing also came into effect which didn't help. With the end of rationing in 1954 the problem was no more.

In the modern age, we have an epidemic of obesity amongst Britain's children. Part of this is an excess of dairy and meat in their diet.

So she did us a favour there. See ?

I'm no lover of Maggie Thatched or any of them come to that! But she was an old lady who had had a stroke and passed away peacefully with her family around her, how would you feel if it was you mother or grandmother and people were saying horrible things about her and her passing, don't forget it was a long time ago since she was prime minister, imagine how her son and daughter would feel if they heard all what is being said? It is a sad time for them, as someone on here said....some of you wouldn't of been born or were still in nappys.besides...we haven't got anyone better now have we?
Just let Maggie rest in peace.......and remember......you should never talk ill of the dead!

Just because some people where in nappies when she was in power doesnt mean they did not feel the effects of what she did. For example, we went from having a brand new built house and a really good income, to having no real income and being made homeless as a result. So although i was only young, the fact that i spent time living in B&B's and hostels shows that i suffered as a result of that bitch. It didnt stop as soon as she left power.

And i actually thought school milk was nice lol

I find it hard to mourn the passing of someone who brought so much misery to so many, out of spite, and who I hold directly responsible for the deaths of many of my generation, who were left without hope.

As others in this thread have pointed out, the real tragedy is, the whole wretched cycle is being played out again now, albeit by chinless Old Etonians, and Thatcher's death is merely a distraction when the main focus should be in fighting the warped notion of "fairness" of this current lot.

Tories will always look after their own, but the sheer cynicism of the Thatcher years, and now Cameron, is hard to take, and I can understand the vitriol of some posters, under the circumstances.

Anyway, here's a poor taste joke:

Just seen the design for Thatcher's grave. It looks nice but the dancefloor needs to be a bit bigger.

Apparently three furnaces in hell have already been closed as being uneconomic. The others are scheduled for privatisation and shares will be sold to the remaining inhabitants of hell.

Just like she did when she was involved in the Hillsborough cover up.

Funny how some people seem to think only good people die.

I see that a nursing home was not suitable for the Baroness. It seems The Ritz is the place to pass on these days.

As a 39 year old I believe that the woman was a true legend who saw that Britain needed to change from its stale industrial base to services based industries. Sure there were casualaties but the miners and Scargill didn't help themselves with their socialist obstinate standpoint. Mining was cheaper in Europe so why not import and save money...its simple economics.

As for the North West her appointment of Heseltine saved the region as many had left to go to the South (Brain Drain) whilst only the lazy, bone idle striking scroungers were left and of course people who actually wanted to work. The former were the people who gave Liverpool a bad name in the 1980's. If they were savvy enough they could even buy their council houses...did they realsie that no they went about like marauding animals throwing petrol bombs!!

I'm sorry but the idea of a "Self Pity City" really started with this nonsense.

As for those celebrating her death.......

She was a woman. She had the courage of her convictions to stand up for what SHE really believed in. She would not be turned.

But her beliefs were SO wrong.
