- Description
- Episode Description
- Sir Keith had served as Secretary of State for Social Services in the Heath government and had been regarded as a Tory "wet," but since then he had blossomed as a conservative theorist, particularly on social issues. He and his host range over questions of taxation, illegitimacy, class warfare, nationalized health care, and more, at a level of concreteness that always brings us along with them. KJ: "I was in charge of the health service for four years, and I think this is still the best country in the world in which to have a serious accident or a serious illness. If you want to have a serious accident--" WFB: "Schedule it here." KJ: "Schedule it here. But if you want to have a relatively minor one or a long one or a handicap or a disadvantage like arthritis or rheumatism or deafness--not in Britain."
