What a moronic thing to say. People moan because services are already incredibly expensive while being utter tulipe. If you give them extra money they will waste it on trash nobody wants such as cycle lanes, rewilding city centers, 20 mph speed limits etc.
What we really need is a reimagined system where people select which services they wish to contribute to and that is the amount they have to spend. If only 5% want a cycle lane, but 90% want a weekly bin emptying, then that's what we get. Not the opposite where the vast majority get their bins emptied once a fortnight but there are unused cycle lanes everywhere.
England doesn't have high tax rates. They are among the lowest in Europe in comparison to countries nearby. So yeah, not comparing us to poor Latvia.
