[Magdalen] Nilk protest

[Roger Stokes]

There have been a few instances iver the past few weeks of farmersd 
clearing supermarket shelves of milk in protest at the low proce they 
get for their milk which enables the supermarkets to sell the 
pasteurised product at 1 GBP for 4 (imperial pints).  Other sizes of 
container are more expensive but after the double conversion that works 
out at a shade over 32 cents a US pint.

Today some farmers stepped up their protest and took their cows with 
them http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-33840815

I appreciate being able to buy my milk, a little less than once a week, 
at that price but believe the farmers do have a valid point. The 
supermarkets may need a new sign "No cows allowed" to go with the one 
saying "No dogs" :-)
