Accounting for inflation the licence fee in 2010 was £270 in todays money. So in real terms the BBC has seen a cut of 42%, which is kind of insane.

No, in 2010 it was £145.50, which is just under £200 in today's money

However the number of subscribers has not remained static, also unreflected is the free subscription for over 75s which the government did fund but no longer go, nor the withdrawal of money from the government for things like World Service and Monitoring

Total license fee + grant funding in 2010 was £3.95b or £5.39b in today's money. It's down to about £3.9b today, so that's a realterms cut of 28%
