M&S admits to 'boob' over bra costs

Marks & Spencer has admitted to making a mistake by charging extra for bras with a DD cup or larger.

The retailer had been the target of a campaign from Facebook group Busts 4 Justice, which orchestrated a protest against the "tit tax".

Marks & Spencer said: "We boobed. It's true our fantastic quality larger bras cost more money to make, and we felt it was right to reflect this in the prices we charged.

"Well, we were wrong, so as of Saturday May 9, the storm in a D cup is over! We will reduce the price of our larger bras by up to £2."

The protest group said: "We are really happy to say that, thanks to the members of Busts 4 Justice, M&S have decided to abolish the tit-tax, and from now on will be operating a one-price-fits-all policy across their ranges."
