It’s such a backwards tax - a license to watch tv! Madness!

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This is a debate about an outdated funding model not fit for the 21st century which can put poor people in prison for not paying a tv tax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?
