Make it a subscription. I’m happy to subscribe to it if I chose to watch bbc content

Why are fans of the BBC in the media purposefully conflating 2 separate issues

This is not a debate about BBC content

This is a debate about an outdated funding model not fit for the 21st century which can put poor people in prison for not paying a tv tax
24 people were imprisoned for not paying their fines (fined for not having a TV licence) in 2017-2018 - an average of one person a month.

Not exactly an epidemic of imprisonment for this, is it?
