Amika George, founder of the FreePeriods campaign group, said: “As a grassroots, student-led movement, Free Periods has been fighting for every single child in this country to be able to go to school without worrying about their next pad or tampon.

Well she seems confused as to her target audience.

As far as I am aware my nephew is a child and he won’t need this...

Girls in ITV report now... But Anika did keep up the "every toilet / everyone" thing.

All street interviews said girls and women...

Amika... bloody autocorrect!!!!

I wouldn’t worry too much about spelling her name wrong, she doesn’t even seem to know the difference between girls and boys :)

I wonder if they’ll be leaving female sanitary products in the boys loos? It would be terribly transphobic otherwise.

Some clever journalist ought to ask the minister if young people means boys and girls.

The reply yes would wake up a lot of the general public.

Of course they will. And the boys will have whale of a time blocking the loos and sinks with the tampons, and sticking the pads to each other's backs. And then there will be none available for the transboys to use. You know, the female children for whom the free sanpro was placed in the boys' loos.
