It's nothing to do with 'Conservative voters'. There are many people from all walks of life, including the poor, who do not want their money used for a service they don't want, and it's pure selfishness that motivates people who do watch and listen to the BBC that they should insist that everyone pays just so the cost to them is subsidised in this
I've never mentioned that the BBC would be the last man standing on DTT so not sure why that element has been introduced. There's enough threads on the forum about that topic as it is!
The mention of Conservative voters should be obvious - they elected the current government so it won't seek to upset them unnecessarily. And you can be poor and still vote Conservative. It's not pure selfishness that insists upon this universal funding model, the new DG has explained why this is the case.
