I was using it as shorthand for "make it mandatory". If I'm going to be forced to pay then I don't want the pretence of choice, and it'd mean we could eliminate those TV Licensing arseholes too.

then you’re funding a valuable public service to others, that provides not only the news, weather, and eastenders, but also a host of revision tooling for students of all ages, language services, a public information broadcast point in case of national disaster, and so on. It’s not just about you and what you do or do not wish to watch. If you drive a car, a portion of the tax you pay still goes towards public transport services.

Genuine question, which part of this is referring to income tax?

The only tax reference i'm seeing is the one that specifically prefaces it with "if you drive a car".

Another genuine question, i'm not seeing how

just because I drive a car, I cannot (and should not) be able to reclaim the proportion of tax I pay that is put towards public transport infrastructure.

Relates to anything in my reply.

Not looking for a fight , it seems i'm legitimately missing something important here.
