Hilarious amount of anger at my article saying the tampon tax campaign is silly.Gotta love people who think 75p in VAT a year is a big issue
@jamesoflynn there is a difference between some thing being a minor issue and it being so infinitesimally small that irrelevant to our lives

@JuliaHB1 Whether it's infinitesimal is opinion, as with many issues. Imo whole premise of 'there are bigger issues so ignore it' is flawed. -
@JuliaHB1 Once it got all the way to Parlt & 'wasted' all that time, I'm yet to see reason Govt voted against then agreed to do it anyway. -
@jamesoflynn The govt hasn't agreed to change the tax. It has no powers to do so. EU law. -
@JuliaHB1 It's agreed to take issue to EU, hasn't it? Which I understood was what the motion requested. -
@jamesoflynn yes, but not a chance in hell of getting it changed. Vast majority of EU govts want an end to all zero rate VAT. -
@JuliaHB1 So could have done same thing without generating all the 'woman haters' frothing about Cons voting against the motion. Bizarre. -
@JuliaHB1 Anyway, thanks for engaging with me. Good day to you.
