Mrs cook has just informed me that the price of milk for a 2litre jug has risen to £1.74. It was £1.18 on friday. I know the farmers should be paid more for their milk but I wonder how much of the 56p they will see. Morrisons should not need to profiteer in this manner. Anybody else paid more for milk today or is mrs c fiddling the household accounts?

We hear so much about Fair Trade tea and coffee. Maybe it's about time we had Fair Trade milk?

Tried to sign but the e-petition refuses to recognise my e-mail address. Never had this problem before. Any suggestions welcome.

Signed.

I object strongly to the supermarkets stating that they have to keep the price of milk down to satisfy the consumer. They haven't asked us have they?

Very few of us can chose to buy milk from one dairy or another and personally I'm delighted this has finally come to a head. Fair trade milk is an excellent idea even though I only buy a pint or two a week, I'd like to be able to buy fairly.
