Is It Fair?

 One of the things you often hear from an agitated  Child is ' THAT'S NOT FAIR', it's something youngsters latch on to.

And I'm not too sure when we stop bawling it out - is it a sign of more maturity, or a realisation that fairness is not always in our own short term condition?

In the developed world we are in a position where we can in many situations reflect on what's fair, should we abide by the rules and queue or can we use some advantage to circumvent our wait? 

What message do we get from our political leaders, can we anticipate UK PM saying that it's not fair that during ongoing pandemics some of the richest parts of society have actually flourished and he thinks that those people who can help those at the bottom of the pile should do so?

Signs are I think worrying for UK's freedoms and the inappropriate actions of the Police yesterday does not make me feel confident in the further powers that the Public Order Act (1986) amendments grant the Police I would not wish to be alarmist but many indications from the dominant and unchecked Conservative Governments' actions are centralising and restrictive - hopefully there are people in all parties (and none) who will resist  - Ian Dunt as is often the case puts the context of the changes that many see as part of ongoing culture wars.
