Its not sustainable.

But from my perspective that's really the only answer here; the BBC/license fee is not fit for purpose in todays media and social landscape.

it's never been sustainable, just ignored or covered up and social media and the availability of a plethora of alternative channels makes a mockery of impartiality.


Not being funny here, but i bet the majority of people supporting lineker at this point, don't even pay a TV licence. It becomes more and more likely, the longer this continues, that people will simply refuse to pay the licence. You can bet that if support coalesces behind lineker, there will be a similarly activated group that refuses to provide the BBC any further funding. If that becomes an organised group, the BBC is properly ****ed
