    What the hell is with the constant use of words such as "equality" and "fairness"? Both of these words register as weasel words to me. The concepts are but a giant load. Conceptually void.

    Have you considered how unfair the term 'weasel words' is to weasels. Weasels are hard working animals whose reputation are unfairly tainted by comparing them to judges, politicians, the pc brigade and the like

    Some sort of american talk show. By country of origin, it qualifies as sh1te. Americans at great at lots of stuff, but generally speaking, talking ain't one of em.

    Am I a racist yet?

    Words such as "Transparent", "comprehensive", "equality", "fairness", etc., in the lexicon of a politician, are synonymous with the word "bullshit".

    Equality has nothing to do with equality. It's all to do with resentment. Ah, good old resentment, a feeling that never lets you down.

    People are all for equality until they are on the end of it.
