Wow! And in US, just the idea of basic healthcare is too radical.

Discriminating against men are we? Give me my freebeez

Oh free tampons? Smells like communism! Whats next? Free education?!

I guess it's considered essential... So food and housing is next?

FREEDOM!

They wouldn't be allowed to do that IF they ever rejoined the EU. B*llsh*t baffles brains.

About time.. ENGLAND should follow

What free things do dudes get? We need equity on this front. How about free beer? That'd be cool.

Small correction: they’re free for anyone that menstruates, not just women.

Well done Scotland. That's what I call a civilised country.

When are they gonna make toilet paper free?

aliesbati Now, leave UK.

No wonder they have the biggest budget deficit in Europe.

Scotland paves the way again... Why did I ever leave!!

Makes sense considering how much they like haggis.

Men will want sanitary products free too. For example a shaver.

Why did the BBC say they would be available to anyone who needs them ?

Amazing!

On BBC Breakfast the question of cost seemed to be far more important than mitigating period poverty for our women & girls, as usual it’s all about cost not welfare

Nothing is free.

Is it safe to travel to Italy? Latest advice following coronavirus outbreakI would not. I am stuck here because I was visiting parents and the area where I am has NO cases, but frankly why risk it? Go to Portugal instead! + the Italian government needs to be taught a harsh lesson for its inefficiency. Iran had no case a week ago and out of nowhere they are 12 deaths today (more than Japan or S Korea). Looking at the map, tropical countries r the safest rite now if u wanna risk traveling at all. Italy found what was looking for. No tests = no cases. Do you really think that just purely from a statistical standpoint that US might have less cases reported? In UK 3000 test have been carried out so far, Italy since the very beginning run 3000 test a day.
