Christopher Tanner (Guardian letters) is right:
we don't need a social mobility plan what we need is an equality plan... we don't need to play the game of class difference better, we need to reduce (and reduce the influence of) class difference(s) in the first place.
A plan for equality is what we need (what one might have expected from a so-called left Govt, but yes I know they're Labour in Name Only)... however, this is something our political class will never deliver!
