Is semi-skimmed milk a left wing option? Nigel Farage has posted a video ranting about the milk options at a “smart” London hotel - semi-skimmed, oat milk, and almond milk, appear to be denounced as “left wing options”. He may have a point about the lack of whole milk, but are other milks left-wing? What kind of milk would be a far-right milk? Or Communist milk? This is the debate that will define the next decade.

But why was full fat milk not available?

What evidence have you seen that the full fat milk was not available?

He's trying to link left leaning politics with things that (stupid) people are annoyed by like being health conscious, vegan and/or lactose intolerant. He's playing to a demographic that thinks down to earth, sensible folk with traditional values wouldn't have any use for 'fancy' milk, yet...see!..its been removed from the menu to pander to snowflakes. What's the world coming to etc.

Used to work in a dairy. Know much more about milk than is useful.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/12/2024 19:12

Though I see you’re all still milking this thread for as much as you can get.

RatMouseVole · 04/12/2024 19:12

Ever wondered what happens to the cream once it's skimmed off? It's given to illegal immigrants, that's what. They have so much of it that they even use it to wash their arses. Meanwhile us natives are forced to put that watery shite on our cereal.

Personally, I insist on sheep's milk. Only from the white ones though.

Of course dairy milk is the capitalist choice. Because it's needed for a decent cuppa and everyone knows proper tea is theft.

Ba boom tish!

Here's the TripAdvisor for a man who makes donkey milk soap a few villages along from me. It's ass's milk and local honey.

Is this woke?

I wonder what Farage thinks about milk that's had extra vitamins added to it.

A New Zealand politician has got rid of "woke" foods at schools.

Christopher Luxon in a huff after questions over ‘woke food’ distraction from coalition partner Act - NZ Herald

"The term “woke food” was lobbed into the debate about free school lunches by the Act Party’s X (formerly Twitter) account, which said: “We’ll be doing more with less money to feed kids the fruit and sandwiches their parents would, not woke food like quinoa and sushi.”"

So here's a helpful list of woke food.

This has been extraordinary helpful. My only bit that I would disagree with is that pasta is woke. I don't think spaghetti bolognese's woke but quite possibly everything else is.

CASHEW MILK????

Jeezusfuckingchristmascrackers I’ve heard it all now. You're so woke I’m surprised you know who he is in your commune. Do you even have a telly? I bet your ITV button was hammered off in the 80s

FussyPud · 04/12/2024 18:58

@cakeorwine I’m sure the Peruvian and Bolivian people will be bemused by being labelled woke.

Tryingtokeepgoing · 04/12/2024 18:57

Around 60% of milk sold in the UK is semi skimmed. The left can only dream of having 60% of the vote, so by definition (based on actual data and the fact that it came from the mouth of Nigel Farrage) he’s wrong. Which will be a surprise to no one 🤣

Though, I was surprised that over 25% of milk sold is full fat.

Whole milk all the way. Other milk is shit

But who do you vote for otherwise it's irrelevant.

I used to drink whole milk and now I drink semi skimmed. Does that make me more left with than I was as a student? Going against the grain.

I even occasionally make cashew milk to have with my porridge because the other milk is run out and it's really easy to make! That must make me bit green. So actually he might have a point as I occasionally vote for them!

I only used skimmed because I am a communist

SabrinaThwaite · 04/12/2024 18:49

Raw milk is definitely the best for drinking.

I was brought up on sterilised milk in tea, sounds pretty communist to me?
