Stop taxation of Tampons.

What the petition asks
Government have recently decided to put tax on tampons. They class them as a luxury when they are not. Other items like Jaffa cakes are not taxed and so suggests that they are more of a necessity then a sanitary towel. If we did not use sanitary items we would be subjected to abuse.
