In reply to MG:

Yes, I KNOW that your happy to pay for the BBC TV licence because you're getting far more out of it than your having to pay in because huge numbers of people like for instance, single mothers on benefits, poor pensioners etc who don't want the BBC, don't use it but are still being forced under the penalty of criminal law to pay for it.
In the above Licence fee example your a 'winner'
So now I'll put in the position of being one of those single mothers on benefits who gets no benefit from the BBC and doesn't want it but is forced to pay for it. You don't send your children to Public school so get no benefit from it BUT your forced to subsidise my children who do go to public school to the tune of £600/year?
The above 2 examples are directly comparable.
So, I'll ask you again is it fair your subsidising my children's public school education and with that in mind is it fair that the single mother on benefits are subsidising your usage of the BBC?
