loving the contortions @JuliaHB1 gets herself into demanding to pay more tax to prove she's 'ardcore..#nowthatsilly!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-politics/11957498/The-campaign-to-end-VAT-on-tampons-is-one-of-the-silliest-the-sisterhood-has-ever-mounted.html …

@JuliaHB1 well in truth am not sure what you want to call fact as opposed to opinion in that piece? Doesn't make it any less overwrought.. -
@stellacreasy the arguments for zero rating are all fatuous - men's items are not zero rated, VAT on tampons doesn't cost women ££££ etc? -
@JuliaHB1 um did anyone say men's items? Last time I checked women ate kebabs too...point is about what is a necessity? -
@stellacreasy the argument has often been (falsely) made that men's razors face no VAT. I'm more bothered by zero VAT on caravans, frankly. -
@JuliaHB1 again no one said men's razors - course it is a 'fact' all the members sat opposite me were men...wonder if that's on your scale.. -
@stellacreasy so, just to clarify, if a woman says something and men disagree with her then, because I am a woman, I have to side with her? -
@stellacreasy you were the one who seemed to think it was relevant that many if your opponents in the debate were men. You raised it, not me - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1@stellacreasy you basically wrote 'don't worry about the principle think of the money'. Principles are important IMO. -
@oliverpayne no, I really didn't. The principle would only be a principle if items only men purchase were zero rated for VAT. They aren't. -
@JuliaHB1@oliverpayne what necessary items do only men purchase? -

@JuliaHB1@stellacreasy Maybe it's the condescending tone of the article, rather than the factual content, that is winding people up. -
@selliott666 oh, I'm sorry, I'll remember to run my articles last the Tone Police from now on....
