Angels and Ministers of Grace Defend Us

"The yearning for fairness, the unremitting quest for it, and the delivery of it in everything we do, is fundamental to our Party.

Our policies today and everything we have done since 1997 are driven by our belief in fairness.

I know there are people who feel that modern Britain has been unfair to them. Some of them are right. But there is nothing that is bad about Britain that cannot be overcome by what is good about Britain, as long as we keep faith with our belief in fairness.

Throughout our history, this nation has repeatedly demonstrated a proud spirit of cautious and practical optimism and we call on that spirit once again.

Fair rules, fair chances, and a fair say for everyone: that is the new deal for this new world." Gordon Brown in his version of the Scottish play.

Fair is foul and foul is fair....

I really thought this was one of your spoofs, the rhetoric is so clunky.

It would be even scarier if he believed it.
