Paul McCartney Angers British Beef Association Over BBC Show

The British Beef Association has got a beef with Paul McCartney.
After making comments on a BBC radio show about the livestock industry contributing to climate change, the association demands the BBC give it air time to respond to the allegations McCartney made.
The association claimed this would be in the interests of the BBC’s “reputation for balance and accuracy,” according to Spinner.
McCartney told BBC, “It started off with the United Nations saying the livestock industry is a bigger demon, as far as global warming is concerned, than the whole of the transport industry put together.”
“I wrote to millions of people like Gordon Brown and the leaders of this and that country and saying, ‘Do you think this is an interesting idea?'”
“Since then, it has caught on and I understand that [chef] Gordon Ramsay has said that one meat-free day a week is a good idea and I understand that [fellow chef] Jamie Oliver too has said that it’s a good idea, so that’s why I got involved.
The BBC has not responded as to whether the British Beef Association will get their turn.
