Don, here's some more horseshit for you to steam about over your marmalade and toast,

The Department of Health and Social Security announced through the public health think tank, (trying to use The Black Report objectively) that milk for rickets and other calcium deficiency conditions was not needed universally.

Heath's government was famous for disregarding the Black report, as it made the link between social deprivation and health. The only minister of his who used the report to justify an action was the junior education minister, Thatcher. In an attempt to save money.

Some LEAs had already put the milk on a "school nurse" list to save as was their prerogative under Wilson. My school however fed the younger ones milk until Thatcher stopped them.

In more recent years, it has been relegated to "urban myth" by those who wish it to be called so. However, I never did call Hansard a source of myth. it is a source of people trying to talk myth! But her announcement from the dispatch box is there for you to reference.

Sorry Don, but calling my comments horseshit doesn't stop them from being fact, as much as it pains you politically. I have no idea what your reference to Gordon brown was about, but it at least cleared up the question of whether you are worthy of objective debate.

Your wonderful iron lady is getting on a bit now, and I am having to keep the champagne in the fridge ready....
