A woman and her friend have stormed the UK parliamentary building to to protest the tax imposed on tampons. The feminist feel tampons shouldn’t be taxed. And so she waited till she was on their period before storming the House of Parliament on Saturday while allowing her menstrual bloods to seep through her clothing. 
In a Facebook post of the striking images, Charlie Edge wrote:
“Today i am forgoing tampons and pads outside the houses of parliament to show how ‘luxury’ tampons really are. We are also raising money to buy tampons for homeless shelters, women’s shelters and the refugee crisis.
We’re getting lots of dirty looks and someone just shouted at us to get a job. But everyone keeps saying “haha omg how quickly would we get free tampons if everyone stopped wearing them?!” So, I’m giving it a go. Taxes are necessary, i get it. So are tampons/ pads.
They’re not luxury items, anymore than jaffa cakes, edible cake decorations, exotic meats or any other number of things currently not taxed as luxury items. Maternity pads are taxed, but incontinence pads aren’t. We’ve had enough.
Maybe bleeding on their doorstep will get the tories to do something about this? please share and spread this around. I wanna get on buzzfeed. byeeeeee xxx.” Many found the pictures offensive and reported them but Facebook sent Charlie a message that she hasn’t broken any rule…… awww, ain't these pics so adorable that it's enlarged frame will sell more than black friday wares!...
