I would like to I would like to know what percentage of my license fee
will go towards funding of Seb Potter's employment - so that
I can withhold that amount from my payment, or seek a refund of that
amount back from the BBC.

If anyone knows a reliable way of working out this figure, please
discuss.
This is just my personal opinion, and not that of my employer.
Are you a BT customer? If so, you could try to demand a refund of the
part of your line rental that goes towards providing phone boxes for
those people that don't own a mobile, or towards provision of
telephone services in rural areas for those that don't live in a city.
Pay council tax? Why not ask for a refund for provision of social
services to those people that require social services.
Pay income tax? All those people that don't have jobs or need medical
care or use any of the thousands of public services that you don't.
You could cut your payments down to only those services you use.
If you're actually interested in protesting in a productive manner,
you could join the public consultation and raise the issue of platform
independence:
