Snowflake Society – Waitrose should sell poppies not attack William Sitwell – Matthew Steeples supports William Sitwell and suggests his employer Waitrose develop a better moral compass before attacking him

Matthew Steeples supports William Sitwell and suggests his employer Waitrose develop a better moral compass before attacking him

 

Aristocrats have a habit of saying stupid things. That’s a fact but equally that millennials now take offence at a bit of banter is something quite more ludicrous.

 

Outrage has ensued this week after a gentleman named William Sitwell – a critic on MasterChef UK and editor of Waitrose Magazine – “dared” to make fun of veganism.

 

“Disgraceful” some might declare but nonetheless that Sitwell was criticised for responding to a woman suggesting an article on “plant-based meals” with the following is ridiculous:

 

“How about a series on killing vegans, one by one. Ways to trap them? How to interrogate them properly? Expose their hypocrisy? Force-feed them meat? Make them eat steak and drink red wine?”

 

In response, Waitrose issued a statement that read:

 

“Even though this was a private email William’s gone too far and his words are extremely inappropriate, insensitive and absolutely do not represent our views.”

 

Well, Waitrose – the company that won’t sell poppies because “they don’t condone war” – I’d suggest you get your own house in order before condemning a man who’d simply made a joke.

 

How about getting this trending on Twitter? #Snowflakes
