Are you deliberately obtuse?
For some decades now we have had the ability to restrict channels on the basis of payment. It isn't rocket science. Have BBC Free with commercials or BBC commercial free on VM, Sky, Top-up TV for the extra £12 a month extra.
If people had to pay £142 to a state-owned airline before they were allowed to fly anywhere (regardless if they fly or with whom), noone would stand for it. Its a poll tax. If I don't want to watch the BBC I still have to pay for it. It goes against everything that's fair and equitable in a reasonable society.
