UKIP has been outlining policies to appeal to women voters. Along with committing to current maternity rights and cutting the cost of childcare, UKIP would like to see VAT - currently 5% - removed from sanitary products. UKIP's head of policy Suzanne Evans told a press conference: "You might grin at this one but it's something that I feel very strongly about."

 

She blamed the European Union for classifying sanitary products as non-essential luxury item, adding: "This shows not only how ridiculous EU legislation is, but how very wrong it is that we've given our tax sovereignty over to a bunch of faceless - and mostly male - EU Commissioners who simply don't understand real life, let alone real life for women.”

Bloody EU rules ! Countries within the EU can only zero rate or charge 5% on a small selection of products. VAT needs to be reformed, but it would be very difficult, as the EU would need to consent to the changes.

We could do with some help from you.

Well I would agree that only a man could have made that decision. Of all the stupid things the EU has done, surely this must top them all.

 

Don't forget the bananas not of a certain curvature that cannot be sold in EU.

EU politicians have a competition on who comes up with the most outrageous legislation and get away with it.
