Unfortunate Women

George Osborne's tampon tax, a levy on the culpable indiscretion of being female, is set to raise twelve million pounds which the Government pledged to spend in support of women's health charities. Naturally, one of the biggest donations will be going to Life, a charity dedicated to undermining women's health with anti-abortion propaganda. Strangely enough, the Government seems to be hiding this gleam of family values under a bushel: no mention was made of the donation in the press notice from the Department for Cultchah, Murdoch and Sport, which the Conservatives apparently consider the appropriate ministry to deal with such snigger-worthy issues as female piping. Doubtless the Government's modesty derives from concern about the delicate state of the economy, which is not yet quite global enough to sustain a sudden boom in the coathanger industry.
