EU won't re-negotiate the deal, what sort of re-assurances can she get, promises? Everything has to be in the deal, black on white, from legal point. The Speaker is now forcing the government to start whatever procedures are necessarily to have a vote on postponing the vote. What if she loses the vote again? Meanwhile GBP/USD...

Voting postponed... More cowardice from May.

Riots in France - petrol prices - UK comparison
Adrian@TORQEN replied to Adrian@TORQEN's topic in Off Topic Discussion
When I'm saying reforming, I meant not allowing money being wasted like here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/sep/18/nhs-records-system-10bn or restructuring HMRC so they deal with tax dodging, where there is a huge gap in collection: details here: https://fullfact.org/economy/tax-gap/ also see this: https://fullfact.org/economy/benefit-fraud-tax-inspectors-numbers/ or maybe spend less on defence and so on. Job cuts if necessary, but retrain people and create more jobs where they can move into. Invest more in infrastructure like railways, maritime transport, broadband etc and this will bring more money into the economy so you don't have to tax people unreasonably like they do on the fuel. -

Probably worth looking into what the tax is being spent on first. Surely reforming some areas could cover the shortfall in reducing the taxation on fuel... Source: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2014/11/09/public-attitudes-tax-distribution Looking at the breakdown on the following sectors: Health, Welfare, Defence, Overseas aid, surely we can reorganise / restructure / reform / improve many of the areas to save a bit more.

I was just looking into the situation in France, in case you're not aware see here: https://news.sky.com/story/live-more-than-100-arrested-on-day-of-mass-protests-in-france-11574773 In brief: "The grassroots movement began as resistance against a rise in taxes for diesel and gas, but quickly expanded to encompass frustration at stagnant incomes, the growing cost of living. President Macron agreed to abandon the fuel tax hike, but that hasn't defused the anger. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner urged calm: "I ask the yellow vests that want to bring about a peaceful message to not go with the violent people. We know that the violent people are only strong because they hide themselves within the yellow vests, which hampers the security forces." Parts of Paris looked like they were bracing for a hurricane, with boards on windows covering up the Christmas decorations. " I then looked in what happened in UK with the fuel prices over the last 10 years, in comparison with crude oil price. Crude oil price - 10 years chart Fuel price 10 years chart 2 Jan 2009 - crude $46.17 - petrol price was £0.86 27 Nov 2018 - crude $50.29 - petrol price £1.258 Fuel price breakdown in UK How can the government justify the £0.5795/L duty and VAT as well at 20% - £0.206? Not that I condone the violence in France, but makes us look like sheep here in UK paying whatever the pump says, without question it, doesn't it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46437904 Further details with the impact of the fuel price in UK here: https://www.fairfueluk.com/Budget2017/CEBR-FFUK-Fuel-Duty.html#page=4&zoom=z -

In a No Deal Brexit scenario, areas of concern include: Kent needing to cope with holding up to 10,000 HGVs on a routine basis Food supplies at risk as safety testing becomes more difficult Children missing important exams such as GCSEs and Sats because of traffic gridlock KCC staff possibly having to work from home for up to six months Carers unable to get to vulnerable adults because of traffic gridlock Schools seeing attendance levels drop Disruption to waste collection services leading to a build-up of rubbish Home to school transport for Special Education Needs (SEN) could be severely challenged Difficulties for the Coroners service transporting the deceased to post mortem or body storage facilities Pressure on trading standards as more checks could take a longer time An increase in the numbers of migrants arriving in Kent, including unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/chaos-of-no-deal-brexit-revealed-in-council-report-194877/

Thanks Kyle. For reference, ZS and TORQEN undertrays photos below. ZSP are 1mm thick from what I remember, ours are 2mm thick, which makes them slightly stronger. TORQEN also have the 350z or 370z logo, better cooling too. Full details here:
