Is He Mad?
Nobody surely would volunteer to pay their TV licence ?
Would they?

When Gary Lineker was a young upcoming footballer, he was a very nice man and a great player for England. Somewhere along the way, about the time he ditched his wife and four children, he lost his way and now TTT's description suits him perfectly. I wouldn't pay a TV license voluntarily, especially with the BBC paying him a fortune.

Yep, he hasn’t thought it through (and he admits it).
// I don’t know the logistics of how it would work. You would lose some people, but at the same time you’d up the price a bit. It’s the price of a cup of coffee a week at the moment. If you put it up you could help older people, or those that can’t afford it.” //
If the BBC went to a subscription/advertising model of funding, it would not raise a fraction of the licence fee, so services/channels would have to be cut.

bednobs can you explain why you think paying the TV licence is voluntary? Its like saying your road Tax is voluntary -if you don't pay it they fine you .
I think the whole TV licence thing is a huge disgrace. I don't care how many good programmes they produce, the commercial channels produce just as good if not better. It should be a subscription service like Netflix then if you want to watch it you pay for it, if not you don't . Netflix costs me around £9 per month and much better value than the £12 a month TV license
