The straw man is the idea that anyone believes that education is free in the sense that no one pays for it. By 'free' education I mean one that the state pays for. I don't know, maybe some people believe that education literally costs nothing, so no one has to pay, but I've never met them.
As for the rest of it, maybe I have misunderstood your more substantive position. It's just that when people start talking about 'bin men' being taxed to fund HE in my experience they tend to the view that people should pay for their own HE and leave the bin men out of it.
