Labour's manifesto is entitled "A Future fair for all".
Apart from the fact that is a vacuous motherhood and apple pie sort of statement*, you do have to ask what is meant by "fair".
Is it fair for example, that a family where no one works that has 5 children can get as much on state benefits as one where only one adult works full time on average pay**?
Is it fair that the education of a whole class can be put in jeopardy by one or two disruptive pupils whom the teachers can't deal with?
Is it fair that after 114 years of universal primary education, so many people leave school with out the ability to read, write or do arithmetic?
Is it fair that someone who works 100 hours a week only may only earn 4 times the before tax equivalent of someone who has never had a job?
Is it fair that you can pay a professional*** good money to do vital work for you, only to find out that they may be working 100 hours a week, and frankly are no good to anybody after 70 hours a week?
So what does fair mean exactly?
*Who wants an unfair future after all?
**That is mean average, not modal average.
***That means lawyers, accountants, tax advisers and of course doctors. Who would want to be operated on by a surgeon who had not had enough sleep?
