of why we need to get out of the tentacle like clutches of these dictatorial empire building gangsters....

"UK was unable to apply a zero rating under EU law"..

I was under the impression that as a sovereign nation with its own government out taxes were set by our chancellor not by the grubbing thieves in the eussr...

Just another prime example that we are not running our own affairs...and this is just one of tens of thousands...not that most sane people didnt already realise whats going on.

We need to get out ASAP and take control of our country

Well you must admit it is a luxury item. Boots will sell you a bag of cotton wall, folk can roll their own.

Anyway, one must blame the many idiotic politicians who willing signed up to this loss of control without the permission of the public.
OG was that a joke or do you genuinely believe that?
And pay higher mobile phone charges :-)
You win some you lose some
So that's the argument of the Europhile - you would pay higher mobile phone charges (only on your week in Benedorm and if, like us you don't use the phone as you want to get away then the gain is zilch)
We need to get out ASAP and take control of our country Period.

VAT was introduced in 1973 as a condition of our joining the European Community.

You're a bit late in getting your object in.

The UK have far more exemptions than anyone else, and that is only right. It should be up to the Chancellor what he taxes and what he doesn't. But if taxes are levied there should be some harmonisation of rates throught the EU.

LOL Old G. You are either crackers or a genius. Genuinely laughed my head off.

Essentials should be VAT free, imo, stuff the EU.
Always been a ridiculous situation since day one.

I havent got the link but it was earlier today and it was a female labour mp who said "just ignore the eussr and do what we want, what are they going to do about it ?"

//Well you must admit it is a luxury item. Boots will sell you a bag of cotton wall, folk can roll their own.//

looks like cotton wool itself is classed as a luxury item.

It is ridiculous that for the UK to make Sanitary Products Zero rated, it would need all 28 EU members to agree.
But, until this threat of a Commons defeat, I don't think the Government were trying very hard (if at all) to make it happen. The Government have now said they will pursue the matter with Brussels so the tampon tax could be lifted.
BAZWILLRUN, did that Labour MP actually use the word "eussr" as I Googled the quote and only yours comes up in the results?
"It is ridiculous that for the UK to make Sanitary Products Zero rated, it would need all 28 EU members to agree. "

How did they come NOT to be zero rated in the first place. As pointed out, it is a bit daft that razoes are ero rated but not these.

"Asked about the calls for a zero VAT rate, the prime minister's spokeswoman said: "What is being proposed is not something that being looked at we think is achievable." - Pardon???
Just let's get out of the EU and stop fannying about.
For most women on a low wage and of childbearing years but not pregnant,
what is essential? Sanitary protection or Jaffa Cakes?
I remember arguing furiously on this subject at the time. They class as
essential items IMO. Looking back, I realise that whilst women's protests were listened to sympathetically, back in the '70s politicians didn't regard them as a force to be reckoned with. It was a sort of sympathetic, head-patting response that you got - ' women's things, you know, dear lady'. (Think Sir Humphrey).

Of course we need to be out of the EU, more and more urgently.
One got the impression that menstruation was a woman's invention to deny her male partner's need for the act of sex.
