Enough of this 'fairness', already.
Like 'progressive' and 'caring', 'fairness' is a word carefully selected by the Marxoids and deployed for generations as a political weapon against their enemies among whom you can number your humble blogger.
Beware of any politician who uses it for you can be sure he is thinking of his own future, not yours.
In the mouth of a politician, 'fairness' falls somewhere between a tactical vacuity and downright lying. In the mouth of a Left politician, it is a weapon of attack, sedition and control. From a Right politician it is merely a defensive tactic but one which plays into the hands of the Left by accepting the Left's rules of engagement.
The Left claims all rights in the word 'fairness': witness the maniacal shrieking from the Labour benches yesterday when the Chancellor -- speaking for a government formed by both Labour's rivals for power -- dared to usurp what they consider their sole rights in the word. The shock of it! The outrage! The fury! The spitting and howling and waving of fists!
And exactly what is 'fair' about the Left's policy of maintaining the masses, in ever growing numbers, in a biddable, because dependent and frightened, condition?
What is 'fair' about the state relieving the workers of more than half their earnings in order to finance a political ideology wholly predicated upon the subordination of the individual to the will of the State?
What is 'fair' about so engineering a nation's economy that the grasping hands of the State must inevitably and increasingly strangle the nation's wealth-generation capacity, purely in order to ensure that control of the people remains just that: control of the people, by the State?
Fuck off with your 'fairness'.
Instead, let's hear about economic government which aims to liberate people from government rather than enslaving them to it; to enable them rather than kill them with government-defined 'kindness'; to educate them to think for themselves rather than accept brainwashing with an officially enforced set of socio-political dogmas carefully crafted to keep the Left in power through coercion and which anathematises all alternatives, reluctance and protest.
If the grass looks greener on the socialist side of the fence it's because they have a better class of bullshit.
New government? Let's have a new language, too. In the long run, that would prove far more important.
I think we should stop pushing "fairness" and back "fair play". Is it "fair" that some have more than others, perhaps not but if they've earned their money then stealing it to pass on to some feckless tossmonkey would not be fair play.
