Isn't fair only fair for all? I mean how can the future be fair for some without being unfair?

It made me think of fair as in "fun fair" but in the future.

How about "equality, liberty and fraternity"?

Oh no, that's been done.

Thinks: you can have "fair shares for all" but this is an idomatic expression so is allowed to also be tautological.

Second thinks: fair helpings for our supporters and everyone else gets mouldy cheese

Possibly?

Oh you could be right, perhaps they are planning a wonderful fair for everyone. Dear souls.
