Ungacabanga ukuthi ingaphakathi letheminali yokusuka eyavalwa isikhathi eside yaseManston Airport isabambekile esikhathini esidlule, okuyisikhumbuzo sosuku isikhumulo sezindiza savalwa ngaso eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili edlule.
Ngoba uma uqala ukungena uzobona imodeli yama-1980 yokwamukela isibhedlela iMargate. Uphawu olungenhla komnyango oseduze lufundeka ngokuthi “Iwadi 1″. Unamahloni? Lokhu kucacile.
Kodwa kuba sobala nakakhulu uma uqaphela ukuthi ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, lesi sakhiwo esilahlekile sasetshenziswa njengengxenye yefilimu yomqondisi uSam Mendes ethi Empire of the Light, eqondiswa u-Olivia Coe Mann et al. Itholakala ngeminyaka yawo-1980s, iphinda kabili njengedeski lokwamukela igumbi lezimo eziphuthumayo.
Kusukela lapho, isiza besiphakathi kwempi yomthetho engapheli phakathi komnikazi wayo i-RiverOak Strategic Partners (RSP) kanye nezitha zasendaweni ezifuna ukuyenza ibe isizinda sokuthumela ngemikhumbi sezigidi zamadola.
Ngokugunyazwa kukahulumeni kwakamuva ukuthi kuvulwe kabusha (futhi), manje ubhekene nesinye isibuyekezo esingaba senkantolo esingase futhi sibambezele isiqiniseko ngekusasa layo.
Kodwa-ke, nakuba sekuyiminyaka eminingi kuphakathi kwesivunguvungu sezombusazwe - amaqembu eMkhandlwini Wesifunda saseThane akhethwa futhi anqatshwa ngokusekelwe emibonweni yawo esihlalweni, kuyilapho umbono wendawo uhlukene ngokulinganayo - isikhumulo sezindiza ngokwaso simile. Ungasho phansi.
Sivakashele isayithi ntambama ka-Okthoba ecacile, ebandayo, sihlola ithuba elingandile nomqondisi we-RSP u-Tony Floydman, umphathi jikelele wesikhumulo sezindiza kanye nesisebenzi esiqondile esisele kule ndawo, u-Gary Black.
Lesi yisakhiwo esibonakala kakhulu emgwaqeni - lapho igama lesikhumulo sezindiza seliphrintiwe ngaphandle kwaso. Namuhla liyibhilidi elimhlophe elingababaleki.
Abaningi endaweni bazothola lapho beya endaweni yokupaka lapho ukuhlolwa kwe-Covid sekunezinyanga ngesikhathi sodlame.
Igumbi lokuphumula elinokhaphethi obomvu, elake lagcwala ukuxoxa okujabulisayo kwabagibeli, manje seligcwele kuphela ukukhala okuthambile kwamajuba ahlala endaweni ephezu kophahla.
Amathayela nokufakwa kwensimbi kwakubhidlika futhi izisebenzi zacelwa ukuba ziphume endaweni yokwamukela izivakashi, okubonakala kungokoqobo kangangokuthi awukwazi ukubona izigxobo zokhuni ezingemuva kwayo uze udlule kuyo njengoba “yenza indawo ibukeke inkulu kunalokho eyikho ngempela.” “. kuhle lokhu”.
Ukugcina kwami lapha kwakungo-2013 lapho i-KLM yethula indiza yansuku zonke eya e-Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Ithemba lisemoyeni futhi indawo iyaduma. Akunalutho namuhla, futhi ingasaphathwa ukuthi kudabukisa kakhulu. Bekunento efiphele kule ndawo ebikade inemboni kodwa sekunesikhathi eside yagcina isesimweni esibi.
Njengoba uGary Blake echaza, “Indawo yokugcina abagibeli iphila iminyaka engu-25 kuphela, ngakho akukho mali etshaliwe. Kuhlale kuwukulungisa okuphuthumayo kwalokho okumele kulungiswe.”
Lokhu kungenye yezinto ezimbalwa ezisele ezisele kanye nezinsiza. Okuphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi lapho uvakashela indawo yonke, isakhiwo ngasinye saphucwa cishe yonke into.
Ngenkathi u-Ann Gloag ethenga isikhumulo sezindiza kumnikazi wangaphambili u-Infrantil ngo-£1 ngo-December 2013, wathembisa ukuvumela abathwali bezindleko eziphansi ukuthi basebenze kuso. Phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha, bonke abasebenzi baxoshwa bavalwa.
Wabe esedayisa yonke impahla esikhumulweni sezindiza. Umphumela waba isithunzi esiyisipoki kuphela phansi kwelinye lamagumbi lapho i-carousel yemithwalo yake yama khona. Lapho bekunendawo ephephile yayo yonke imithwalo ehloliwe, sekunesikhathi eside imoto ithunyelwa ekhaya layo elisha.
Ukudlula ensimini - abaqashi basasebenza emhlabeni, omunye wabo ungumthengisi wendiza enophephela emhlane - sipake endaweni yokuphamba. Okusalayo wuhlaka lweziqandisi ezinkulu ezake zaba khona, ezazigcina impahla ezazithuthwa ngendiza ziyiswe esikhumulweni sezindiza.
Egunjini elingaphandle kwesinye sezakhiwo, amahhashi angenisiwe. UGary wangitshela ukuthi bahambise “amahhashi omjaho abiza izigidi zamaphawundi” eManston. Izitebele ezimbili zisekhona, ezinye zidiliziwe.
Eceleni kwabo kukhona isethi yamabhokisi abhalwe ngezinto ezisetshenziswa kumafilimu athi "Empire of Light", asenegama lekhodi elithi "Lumiere". Abakhiqizi badale amasethi kulawa magumbi amakhulu.
Sehla ngomgwaqo wezindiza, sivumela ama-seagull ajabulele ukushisa enkundleni yezindiza, futhi sahlakazeka ekuphaphameni kwethu. Uma imoto ebesihamba ngayo igijima, uzwa sengathi kufanele uziphakamise.
Kunalokho, ngathola ukuqhuma kwezinganekwane zasemadolobheni. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi awukho umhlaba ongcolile eduze kwakhe. Kubukeka sengathi umnikazi wayo owake waphila isikhashana, iStone Hill Park, obehlela ukuwenza izindlu, uhlole umhlabathi wathola ukuthi uhlanzekile.
Lokhu kuyasiza ngoba kubonakala kune-aquifer engaphansi komhlaba ehlinzeka u-70% we-Thanet ngamanzi ampompi.
Izinkulungwane zamaloli zipakwe lapha ngasekupheleni kuka-2020 nasekuqaleni kuka-2021 ukuze kudambiswe isiphithiphithi e-Dover. Isivunguvungu esifanelekile sokuthi iFrance ivale imingcele yayo phakathi kokwesaba kweCovid-19 kanye nemithetho emisha elethwa yiBrexit.
Olayini bamaloli abamakwe ngokucacile basawela umzila wezindiza wezindiza. Kwenye indawo, amatshe abesatshalaliswa kabanzi ukuze anikeze ukwesekwa okuqinile kwezimoto ezinkulu ezaphoqeleka ukuthi zime lapha ngaphambi kokuba zidedelwe ukuthi zingene eDover ku-A256.
Isitobhi esilandelayo siwumbhoshongo wokulawula omdala. Igumbi elingaphansi lapho isistimu yeseva yayikhona yayisusiwe, kwasala izintambo ezimbalwa ezilahliwe.
Igumbi lapho isikrini se-radar esake sabonisa khona uxhaxha lolwazi oluvela ezindizeni ezisesibhakabhakeni ezisizungezile, futhi imidwebo ephansi kuphela esele lapho itafula lake lama khona.
Sigibele izitebhisi eziyaluza - eziyaluza - zensimbi saya egumbini lokulawula eliyinhloko, siphazamisa izicabucabu ezisibekele ngolwembu.
Ukusuka lapha unokubukwa okungenakuqhathaniswa kogu, eduze ne-Pegwell Bay, ngaphesheya kwe-Deal neSandwich uze ubone i-Dover Ferry Terminal. “Ngosuku olucwathile ungabona iFrance,” kusho uGary. Wanezela ukuthi lapho likhithika, “uma ulibuka usuka lapha, libukeka njengesithombe esimnyama nesimhlophe.”
Konke okuyigugu etafuleni ngokwalo kwadatshulwa. Kusele amafoni ambalwa ezintambo zakudala kuphela eduze kwezinkinobho ebezingeke zibukeke zingekho endaweni yephaneli yokulawula ye-Death Star yasekuqaleni, kanye nezitikha zezindawo zamazwe ngamazwe lesi sikhumulo sezindiza esake sazichofoza esibhakabhakeni.
Imibono ingase ihlukaniswe, kodwa akunakuphikwa ukuthi iManston Airport inekhadi okuthi, uma lidlalwa ngendlela efanele, lizodlula noma yikuphi ukuphikiswa. Inikeza umbono wemboni esikhathini lapho kunokunye okuncane.
I-RSP ithembise ukutshala amakhulu ezigidi zamaphawundi esizeni ukuze sisiguqule sibe yisizinda sezimpahla. Izindiza zabagibeli zingamukeleka kuphela uma le ndlela isebenza.
Ukholelwa ukuthi izinga lokutshalwa kwezimali lizomvumela ukuthi aphumelele uma eminye imizamo ingaphumeleli.
Eqinisweni, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi nakuba isikhumulo sezindiza besibhekwa njengesonakele amashumi eminyaka, isikhumulo sezindiza sasizimele ngokuphelele kuphela - kuze kube ngu-1999 sasingesoMnyango Wezokuvikela (owabuye wavumela izindiza zabagibeli) - iminyaka eyi-14 ngaphambi kokuthi sivale kungazelelwe eziyisishiyagalombili. iminyaka edlule.
UGary Black wachaza: “Ukutshalwa kwezimali akuzange kufike. Ngaso sonke isikhathi kwakudingeka sihlukumeze futhi silungise lokho esasinakho njengenkundla yezindiza yezempi ukuze sizame ukungena ebhizinisini labantu.
“Ngilapha kusukela ngo-1992 futhi akekho oseke wathatha noma wafaka imali kulesi sikhundla ukuze sihehe ukuze sisetshenziswe ngendlela.
"Njengoba sihamba eminyakeni edlule, sisuka enkampanini siye enkampanini, sizama ukwenza iManston iphumelele, kuze kube manje akakaze abe nezinhloso ezinqala zokutshala imali ukuze ayenze ibe yilokho okufanele ibe yikho."
Uma egwema noma yikuphi ukungenelela kwezomthetho, ikusasa liyohluka kakhulu kulokho elikubonile esikhathini esidlule - indawo yanamuhla igcwele udoti.
Ngakho-ke ngibuze uTony Freidman, umqondisi wobambiswano lwamasu e-RiverOak, kungani uhlelo lwakhe luhluke kulabo abake bazama futhi behluleka eminyakeni yamuva nje?
“Sinqume kwasekuqaleni,” echaza, “ukuthi le nkinga singayixazulula kuphela uma sizotshala imali eningi kungqalasizinda, futhi uma singathola abatshalizimali abakulungele ukwenza lokhu. Sinabatshalizimali abatshale imali kuze kube manje por., Cishe i-£ 40 million, futhi uma imvume isinikezwe ekugcineni, konke kuzoba sengozini kwabanye abatshalizimali abafuna ukulandela.
“Izindleko sezizonke zingu-£500-600m futhi ngalokho uthola isikhumulo sezindiza esingathwala amathani angu-1m wempahla. Esimweni somnotho wase-UK, lokhu kungadlala indima enkulu.
“Futhi iManston ayikaze ibe nalolo hlobo lwengqalasizinda. Yayinengqalasizinda ethile eyisisekelo, izengezo eziyisisekelo ezibuyela ezinsukwini ze-RAF, yilokho kuphela.
“Impahla yilapho okuyindaba yokufa nokuphila, futhi imboni iyakuqonda lokho. Kodwa abanye abantu bendawo abakwenzi lokho. Bathi uma ingazange isebenze, ngeke iphinde isebenze. Nokho, eminyakeni engu-14 nje ngemva kokwenziwa kwezinkampani ezizimele, kukhona ukutshalwa kwezimali okuncane kule ndawo.” Uyalidinga ithuba.”
Waba namahloni kancane lapho ngibuza umbuzo ka-£500m mayelana nokuthi obani abatshalizimali ayebamisile.
“Ziyimfihlo,” echaza. "Bamelwe ihhovisi elizimele eZurich - bonke abanelayisensi ngokusemthethweni futhi babhaliswe yiziphathimandla zaseSwitzerland - futhi banamapasi aseBrithani. Yilokho kuphela engingakutshela khona.
“Bameseka iminyaka eyisithupha kanti naphezu kokuphikiswa nokubambezeleka kodwa basameseka.
“Kodwa uma sesiqala ukutshala imali eningi kwingqalasizinda, kuzovela abatshali bengqalasizinda besikhathi eside. Umtshali-zimali ono-£60m uzobheka imithombo yangaphandle yoxhaso lapho edinga ukusebenzisa u-£600m.”
Ngokwezinhlelo zakhe eziphusile, cishe zonke izakhiwo ezikulesi siza zizobhidlizwa futhi zibe “useyili ongenalutho” anethemba lokwakha kuwo isizinda sezimpahla esiphumelelayo. Ngonyaka wayo wesihlanu isebenza, kufanele idale imisebenzi engaphezu kuka-2,000 esizeni ngokwaso kanye nezinkulungwane ezengeziwe ngokungaqondile.
Uma isebenza, ingahlinzeka ngemisebenzi kanye nezifiso ezinkulungwaneni zezakhamizi zase-East Kent, okungase kufake imali emnothweni wendawo weThanet, manje osekuncike ngokuphelele kwezokuvakasha ukuze usimame. .
Benginokungabaza izifiso zayo esikhathini esidlule – ngike ngabona ingosi yehla izikhathi ezimbalwa – kodwa awukwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ucabange ukuthi le ndawo idinga uqhekeko olunesithunzi ukuze kuzuzwe impumelelo abaningi abanethemba layo.
Yini ongayidla ngesidlo sakusihlwa? Hlela ukudla kwakho, zama ukudla okusha futhi uhlole ukudla usebenzisa izindlela zokupheka eziqinisekisiwe ezivela kubapheki abaphambili bezwe.
