Rejected petition Keep adult colouring books VAT free

HMRC want to tax adult colouring books meaning the prices will go up by 20%. As an adult colouring book specialst this will ruin my small business. They also want to charge VAT retrospectively on my last 12 mths sales. Most books are free from VAT, why should adult colouring books be any different?
