Government Surrendering to Airlines?

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

At the airport, the CDU held a regional political initiative on subservience that explains why air travel between Madeira and the rest of the country continues to have high prices and the so-called mobility allowance has not yet been changed.

“It is exactly four years ago on the 19^th of July 2019 that in the Assembly of the Republic, Law 105/2019 was unanimously approved, which amended the social mobility allowance, with a long-awaited improvement in the access of the populations residing in the region to travel at more affordable prices. But the law remains unenforced. Fruit of a ‘little arrangement’ between the PSD and the PS, and everything was postponed and remains unresolved.” States Edgar Silva.

According to Edgar Silva, “the PS and PSD surrendered to the arguments of economic groups, preventing the application of the Law that changed the current application of the mobility allowance, while giving into the airlines thus penalising the general population.”
