Petition Remove the luxury tax on feminine hygiene products once and for all time!

In the UK, flapjacks and crocodile meat are at a 0% VAT rate, yet an essential item for all women is classed under the 'luxury' tax bracket. The so called 'tampon tax' is a ridiculous way of financially victimising women. We the people (signed below) demand an end to this deliberate extortion.
