Well, as sanitary protection is classed as a luxury item
and taxed accordingly, I think more people should protest.

I agree with Stray and Joy. There must be other ways to get a message across than such a disgusting display. Far from feeling sympathetic, most would have felt revolted. Very inappropriate! :-|

Didn't Lord Nuffield supply sanitary protection to the women in the armed forces during the last war?

Paula Radcliffe who defecated by the side of the road in 2005, was running for 'glory' not charity. I wouldn't have done what she did either.

I think there are probably better ways of highlighting that women the world over still have to deal with things as well as being in some discomfort, but I'm not outraged as such, there are worse things, and it was done with 'good intent'.

I do think VAT on sanitary products should be zero rated though. Interesting comment here re that if anyone is interested http://www.stylist.co.uk/people/lucy-mangan/vat-on-tampons-should-not-be-axed

( edited to correct 'defect' lol)

I'm sure it's a just cause but I wouldn't do it. Or what Paula did either.
