Politics Green is a supporter of higher taxes on the wealthy and protecting the NHS, saying "Anybody who tells me they’re not going to pay tax… we’ve got an NHS system on its knees… I tell you what, my son was in real trouble when he was young and we took him to the hospital, there were four specialists waiting for him. That’s why you pay your taxes. We’ve got a police system who protect us, we’ve got firemen who put out fires. We’ve got defence, man. That’s what tax is for." He then went onto claim "I’m proud to be a 50 per cent tax-payer". He has also been an outspoken critic of Jimmy Carr for using a tax avoidance scheme in 2012. He said of Carr, "Wanker.
