Humans will use resources until they run into a brick wall. I suppose you could call that greed; perhaps it's a survival trait built into us when resources were "unlimited" in prehistory.

We haven't evolved fast enough to put up brick walls ourselves and say "no" to our genetic heritage.

Britain is in a crisis of morality, and of identity. It is unsure, in the wake of 7/7

Where did he get that baloney from? 7/7 doesn't even register unless your are talking about the hacks who are paid to stir up "terrorism". He ought to study UK road accident statistics and get a clue. Interested to see how they compare to France.

In France, by contrast

Why doesn't he talk about the Alcohol consumption in Luxembourg? The alcohol consumption per capita in Luxembourg is even higher then the figure for France. The Irish like a drink or two as well.

and yes the density of alcoholics goes up in proportion to per capita consumption.

Re crime. Who is he kidding? There is no crime in France? He needs to have a closer look at Paris by way of an example. The poorer districts. Some racial tensions there too.
