A third of millennials will never be able to afford to buy their own home, yet the government refuses to build more homes for them to protect older generations enjoying decades of house price growth. But sure, worry about TV licences.https://twitter.com/IndraWarnes/status/1095356793763651584 …
This is wildly misreading the piece? It talks about the Tories going back on a manifesto promise and how the BBC can either cut its funding for loads of channels or do this. It doesn’t say to focus on this over young people’s issues? But sure, go off on a young female writer.

Also, the channels most likely to be cut if the BBC are forced into this.... will be those watched by Millennials?

It's true that the government is forcing the decision into the hands of the BBC. And that's wrong. But the framing of that tweet is disastrous. And I'm a young female writer. Doesn't mean I agree with everything that every other young woman writes. Thank goodness.

As a millennial who can't afford a house, I'm not suggesting tv licences should be the government's sole concern - but since they account for less than 0.1% of government spending it seems mad that the BBC should be paying for them

If a young female writer can't comment on an opinion piece written by another young female writer...who can?

No one, apparently.
