You could argue that it's immoral of the BBC to continue to offer/fund this platform if they know it to be against the wishes of license payers or (more importantly, because there's really nothing positive at all in mob rule) it goes against established impartiality rules.

But putting the moral responsibility on an individual to step away from a platform that they're using to speak about things they believe in? An odd sort of "morality" there.

You just said he bragged he is getting on a bit and doesn't need the money, so step away then and give it to someone who does, someone who needs to pay their mortgage perhaps or bring up a family....he is such a do gooder after all its the least he could do...no?
