Don't get too excited as he used the hoary old Good samaritan argument which apparently Thatcher cited whereby the reason the good samaritan was able to help the distressed man was because he had accumulated wealth by work -and he was therefor able to be an altruist!
So the best argument for wealth accumulation according to the gospel of saintly conservatives is it enables more altruism. Way to concede the argument to the altruists!
Let's hear it from the horses ass I mean mouth. Keir Hardie was quoted on the same programme, to paraphrase: the work of the Labour movement is to resuscitate the work of Christ.Another Hardie contemporary apparently said English socialism has more in common with Methodism than Marx. Amen
