NATS provide the infrastrucure but the MOD provide the personnel and I believe all UK taxpayers pay toward the MOD.
Some GA (> 2T) pay a lot in route charges, thanks.
Use some of the cash raised when we're (> 2T) OCAS at night to offset the infrastructure costs -- it isn't used for anything else...
