        @carl_chambers85 @BBCBreaking no they don't. If everyone agrees, then sanitary products (not just tampons, all products) can be 0% by EU.

        @BBCBreaking why not abolish the #tampontax and let women make their own decisions about who they donate their surplus to?

        @BBCBreaking That just means they've moved money from one place to replace money taken from another; #WhyTaxTampons at all?

        @BBCBreaking Tampon tax? Why are they a luxury item? Maybe we should insert tampons into Osborne , cause he's the biggest C..t of all.

        @BBCBreaking In that case, all the women must stop giving to these charities in order to save the money Osborne is taking.
