Justice and Fairness

Last night I watched a fascinating programme on BBC 4 on the topic of Justice: Fairness and the Big Society which began by asking whether Wayne Rooney should be paid more than a care worker, moved on to look at social mobility, hedged around university fees and ended up conceding asking just what is meant by the term 'big society'.  Some interesting viewpoints (and a few stereotypes) and a very skilled facilitator.

Should market forces determine pay?  Should everyone have the same opportunities?  What is an acceptable gap between the highest and lowest pay?  How should further education be funded?  Who benefits (most) from university education?  Where does charitable and voluntary work fit in the grand scheme of things?

If you didn't see it, and before it disappears from iPlayer, it's worth a look... as is, I suspect the rest of the programmes on this theme.
