Re: Its ok paying for something if you actually use it
"For those thinking it is comparable I cannot hold a rational conversation."
They are both publicly-funded services. They are both things that a particular individual may or may not use. They could both be replaced by the private sector.
Tell me which of those is not true. These are the only similarities that are required for the argument in my previous post to stand up. Which, to be clear, was demonstrating the invalidity of two specific arguments that had been made against the BBC, and nothing more. The subjective value or importance of the BBC or NHS are in no way relevant to that case.
If you're going to need me to explain logic to you from first principles, then yes, a rational conversation is out of the question. Maybe watch a BBC4 documentary about it or something.
