This is already paid for but the next show isn’t.
If the BBC were sold to the public as a soft dollar expenditure, it would be one thing. But it wasn’t. I’m not sure it could be in today’s Britain. Ignoring the freeloader problem threatens the support on which the BBC’s funding depends.
This is a debate with reasonable arguments on both sides.
