Yes how the left love to call her the "Thatcher the Snatcher", even though they are unaware of the reason behind certain school milk cuts.
Once again Heaths government was forced to make cuts after yet another free spending Labour government, Margaret Thatcher as Secretary of State for Education had to respond to a Treasury demand for education cuts in four areas:
Further Education fees
Library book borrowing charges
School meal charges
Free school milk
/// Responding to the demands to end free school milk, Mrs Thatcher said: "I think that the complete withdrawal of free milk for our school children would be too drastic a step and would arouse more widespread public antagonism than the saving justifies." ///
/// She proposed the compromise, later accepted, that milk would only be available to pupils in nursery and primary schools. ///
