The BBC is different, actually. If you're a UK citizen, you do not have to pay income tax while you live and work abroad. And the BBC is funded partly by an explicit "TV license" payable by any household that has a TV in Britain. So again, if you leave (or just get rid of your TV), you stop paying for it. So maybe it's OK if you can't watch it then (bollocks still, but justifiable bollocks).
