[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 5869224, member: 54866"] Again, I do not see why I, nor any other consumer or tax payer, should concern themselves with historical facts of this nature. The 70s was now basically 50 years ago. The 50s were now 70 years ago: it is not relevant. So the government had a milk for schools program, great. I still see no valid argument for a government body solely existing to regulate the price of milk in any way. The marketplace works fine. Some farmers can make a good profit, some make a profit but have years or periods of low returns (much like the cycles endured by many different businesses, I might add) others can't make it pay no matter what they do. Put simply that is and was always the case, that is market forces for you, tough canoodles: welcome to the real world and the commercial realities of being in business today. I am glad someone brought Thatcher up, I do like to see the closet socialists rear their heads even if they cannot bring themselves to admit it. So you want a government subsidy just for existing, a guaranteed price of milk at the farm gate: what else would you like, free tax payer funded slippers as well? Wake up. [/QUOTE]
