For excellence and access in relation to re-education, see Estelle Morris, The Today Programme, BBC Radio 4, 16 October 2003. For tradition and change, see Tony Blair, speech to the National Federation of Women’s Institutes, 7 June 2000, as reported in Giles Coren, “You can’t expect people to like being patronised for making jam”, The Times, 8 June 2000 and John Carvel, “Heckled, jeered, booed – Blair bombs at the WI”, The Guardian, 8 June 2000. For sustainable development, see Herman E. Daly (1996), Beyond Growth: The Economics of Sustainable Development, p 167. Here Daly corrects this fallacy, writing “Sustainable development, development without growth, is an economics of better, not bigger.” For false consistency (aka the double maximand) and utilitarianism, see Geoffrey Scarre (1996), Utilitarianism, pp 24–25. As Jamie Whyte (2003) points out, there is nothing inconsistent about pragmatic choices, one or both of which are inconsistent with a principle which you accept: you choose that way because you want to do so. The inconsistency arises when you defend your choice in terms of the principle.
