One of my rules of thumb is that I should distrust any politician that talks of 'fairness' or 'unfairness'. Such words are emotive and slot straight into the worldview of those consumed by envy or malice.
A Rachel script and as about as much use. This applies to her as well as her warblings.
Oh well, we can trust in Labour coz they're so trustworthy.
Why on earth would the change of actor change the direction of travel when its clear that those who actually gain by running this United Kingdom do so from off stage and out of the limelight.
DJ - yes, the politics of envy is the underlying theme. A much more basic aspect of human nature than we care to admit, or more basic than the envious care to admit.
Chris - it seems to be a signal that the warbling may change but the script won't.
James - that's it, completely trustworthy as always.
Anon - I agree, as long as the pundits pay up, theatre managers just need to change the actors every now and then.
