What are things/services we pay for that in your opinion should be free?
 
Technically not for most countries, including the UK but healthcare should be free, in my opinion. Struggling to think of anything that relates to the UK, to be honest.
 
Education and Health. But nothing is technically free.
 
Ambulances. An ambulance ride to the hospital can cost nearly 2k where I live. The hospital is a 10 minute drive away.
 
Healthcare needs to be free. The fact that almost every other country has access to free healthcare yet the US doesn't sucks. So many people would be willing to get the help they needed more if they knew it wasn't going to cost so much money. I also think the internet needs to be a bit cheaper, or at least free for schools and places that rely on it.
 
Air for your tires at gas stations. Some gas stations charge as much as $1.50 for air.
 
Healthcare, all required utilities and education. If money was better distributed, top execs not paid as much, I think it be doable.
 
The Internet. Too many people ,schools, and business' rely on it.
But to maintain the infra of the servers cost a ton, i don't think it should be free but more affordable.
I think a good compromise to always have is to have some sort of basic internet available to everyone. Considering how many things are done online now, everyone should be able to access things like email, basic search results etc.

And if you want to do more than that, you can pay and upgrade.
 
Water shouldn't be sold as far as I'm concerned. Why should water be sold in the first place? A free gift of nature but companies are making tons of money from it and are even causing fake scarcity.
 
ATM fees. I have to pay money to get my own money. What's wrong with that picture folks?
 
Education and health care should be free but sadly these are not in my country
