"Hunt set an artificially low "price floor escape level" everyone knows is a con.."
Indeed so Dick, both Brent and NBP need to be BELOW said floor for an average of 180 days, so if the bottom falls out of the market for either Brent/NBP and the other never falls below, or either pops it head above the threshold for even just a short period, moving the average back up the qualify period is reset or never comes into play. In the meantime revenue suffers but taxes are still maxed out on little we earn. Now imagine low NBP or Brent where WFT has not been removed but this latest 'brainwave' of RR (if she has a brain that is) to reduced CA comes into play, my god it's not worth thinking about for many NS players would suffer unrecoverable financial damage.
One point worth mentioning, should the price floor ever be breached and WFT removed (lol), I bet there is no opposite and equal qualifying period of 180 days moving the other way where BOTH Brent and NBP have to be ABOVE the floor for 180 days average before WFT applies again.
Absolute scam of the worst kind this WFT, oh, sorry EPL !!
How industry & unions are not up in arms and marching on Parliament over this I have no idea !!!
Dick, as for RR 'seeing the light' in October, I too don't holdout much hope either. atb
