Why should I be forced to pay to educate your kids?

For the fire service that puts out your fire?

The list goes on...

So that you may live in an educated society and so that your children and grandchildren may be educated.

Or your own fire, even?

The BBC is a social service, is it?

In the UK tax system, there is no provision for children, dependent or otherwise.

It was abolished in 1975.

Not in the United Kingdom. Not nowadays.

Not since 1975 (when Child Benefit - a payment TO the family - was substituted for the child tax allowance).

Abolition is rather more than a change of detail!

It's not important - it's an entertainment show. It certainly seems to entertain you.
