A good article from the journalist at the eye of the storm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-46348167
It's rather tragic and deplorable the abuse and threats they've both endured but it seems that they've made the best of it and some good may come from it. |  |

They were face-to-face on The One Show tonight.
Can't say I like Sitwell - supercilious minor aristocrat. William Ronald Sacheverell Sitwell, heir presumptive to the Sitwell baronetcy. |  |

He was an idiot and his email wasn't funny. I think an apology should have been enough.
She makes a point about millions of animals being hung upside down and killed. I think it's really important where your meat comes from. I know certain people think it's irrelevant and that's fine, i'm not arguing with them, but to me there is a world of difference between a free range chicken killed on a farm before it even knows what it happening and a factory farmed chicken stunned, hung upside down on a conveyor belt and killed after being in distress.
I admire her saying it can be an informed choice to eat meat.
Social media is a cesspit. |  |

She didn't want him to lose his job, she says she's sorry that happened. It's a good, balanced article. William Sitwell is a knob but I kind of like him despite that. | |

The last line "We've made progress, as a species." seems a tiny bit hyperbolic |  | | |

I thought the same but I think she means two people with different ideas coming together and respecting each other's opinion which is quite rare these days. | |

Doesn't sit well with you then.
I've never really noticed him much. Obviously I know his face and recognise him from various TV cookery stuff, but he's always seemed so bland and easily forgettable.
Maybe he felt he needed a bit of publicity. |  |

Indeed and if she'd said that, then I wouldn't have a problem. Instead it was the last line that stuck! | | | |

"Veganism isn't a diet, or a fad, or a way to annoy the people around you".
She hasn't met my nephew. | |

She said exactly what J2 said (but more eloquently) in the sentence immediately preceding it. Taking one sentence out of context isn't a great way to critique the article. | |

Did wonder if he was related to Edith. |  |

I find it interesting she, like most vegans I know, cites the same type of abuse and "LOL BANTZ".
I don't think there is a "right" way to promote veganism in all honesty, no matter how you make the point someone will get the arse. |  |

Jermain Defoe is good at promoting it | | | |

I think being deliberately provocative or condescending probably greatly increases the chances of people getting the arse. | |
