Personally I can't really draw a distinction between subsidising Hum Europe or subsidising MTV. I watch neither, but there will be people choosing Virgin because of those channels who are heavily subsidising my viewing of Arsenal v. Southampton tonight and I am beyond certain that I've got the better end of the deal!

Yup, well said Andy. It is also worth remembering our past. It is not as if our deepest descendants were all British. We are pretty much just a mixture of many different cultures brought over from different countries. Not even St. George was English.
