You may choose to use a private school or a private health club but you still pay council tax, which funds the local leisure centre and the local school.

Totally wrong to compare the way you have. Useful and desirable to national life? How???
Spending by any council can and has been challenged and changed by the local community the council serves.
The BBC is a service provider. Unlike any other service provider you are forced to pay for it. You cannot be cut off for not paying for the service you use but you still have to pay.
Again unlike any other service provider you cannot move to another if you can get a better deal.
