Easter special: Fairness in haikus
Why say it in 5,000 words when 17 syllables will do?
As it’s the Easter holidays, here’s a rundown of our main reports to date in haiku format. You can also find these via our website homepage’s haiku mode. Enjoy! We’ll be back on Monday 28 April.
What does fairness mean?
Is there a definition
That we agree on?
How fair is Britain?
The numbers here suggest that
It is not very.
Eight in 10 Britons
Think early years workers' pay
Is unfairly low.
Most Brits believe that
The government should fund a
Broad social contract.
Three in four people
Worry that high net worth folks
Don't pay enough tax.
Those Tory voters
Fine with inequality
Not fine with impacts.
Most Britons prefer
Equal opps over outcomes
But know we lack both.
There's much common ground
Between people in Britain
On the solutions.
Do people see the
Social causes of ill health?
Polling suggests yes.
How worried are we
About inequalities?
It's complicated.
We must look beyond
The school gates to fix the gap
In school attainment.
Only one in six
People want to see tax cuts
Others want reforms.
Inequality
Will get a lot worse over
The next few years. Ouch.
A few ideas
On breaking barriers to
Opportunity.
The wealth gap is bad
For everything we hold dear.
Here's what we can do.
Could unequal wealth
Cause societal collapse?
Consensus is yes.
Regulation can
Be good for growth; cutting it
Is not the answer.
Just a bit of dough
Hugely improves life chances.
Why not spread it round?
