• We have a number of very powerful women in the world now - Mrs. [Angela] Merkel, who the Germans call Mutti. What did we call Mrs. [Margaret] Thatcher? When she was minister of education, she stopped the children's free school milk.

Mrs. Thatcher stopped it. They called her "Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher."
