    Explanation: In the early 1970s, the Conservative government of the UK ended free milk for schoolchildren under the lead of their education minister. Kicking off a career of petty harassment towards the impoverished and vulnerable with a startling opening salvo, Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher, would later go on to become a long-serving British Prime Minister on the strength of her small-minded cruelty and hatred of the poor.

    HOWEVER

    Those British children don’t know what TRUE loss is, unlike French children, who were no longer served wine in schools by order of the French Ministry of Health from 1956 onwards. 😭

        During her diabolically evil reign as the British PM some of the press dubbed her “thatcher thatcher, Milk Snatcher”.
        Which is far more polite than she ever deserved.
