I don't understand
Chauvinism or misogyny
I'm not sure what you mean, Carnmores. I'm being serious. The formula for writing a news headline involves a verb. And given the context of the article: "Loosens" is appropriate.
Well,
Speaking as someone who was there when this headline was written, I can tell you that you are mistaken. Any interpretations are yours, and you are, of course, welcome to them. But I think it unfair to cast aspersions on the writer when it honestly was not his intention.
Logical Fallacy
If you don't understand. Then its pointless explaining as its crystal clear
Surely someone's failure to understand should be a prime reason for explaining. The logical conclusion would be that it is only worth explaining something to someone if they already understand it!
if it wasnt you how can you be sure
However I am often saying we should be more robust so someone should apologise and we can all move on or Hattersley should consider his position if he wrote it, over to you.

"Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing."
Or maybe they do. This is a "pay per click" business after all. Like the pointless storm they managed to stir up over that ICAS letter.
You know what they say. Those who can't do, teach.
Those who can't be journalists write SEO content!
Utility costs next?
I have to say I could read the title 100 times and not see anything wrong with it.
Maybe this just goes to show there are a small number of Aweb users who love to moan rather than contribute to an informed debate. So we should just ignore those people and move on...
It's good if VAT is scrapped for women's sanitary products - it always seemed unfair. But what seems much more important is the same 5% rate of VAT applies to utility costs.
Given that we have 2 million households in fuel povery, and there are many people in the UK who have to choose between heating their homes and buying food, wouldn't it be better to campaign to reduce VAT on gas and electricity?
Nothing wrong with title
You shouldn't be drinking whilst on that high horse. You might injure yourself.
If you can believe your eyes and ears . . .
... it also demonstrates the European commission’s flexibility ...
How many years of argumentation did it take?
All it demonstrates is a 'too little too late' propaganda nod to Brexiteers..
And it seems to have beguiled at least one journalist
As with anything that looks like good news from the EU
I think you will find that there are strings attached to this...
Watch out
I think you will find that there are strings attached to this...
Carnmores will be very cross with you.
Every silver lining has a cloud attached...
When, last year, this subject was mentioned in the Autumn Review George announced that a whole plethora of Women's Charities would benefit because the 5% was going to be diverted to them and many of them have benefited from the diversion of this tax - but what will they receive now that the rate goes to 0%?
