Ok,the one thing that I get out of the article is that VS is on a three year mission to get more biz pax,to do this they are removing the pillow's that the pax liked from the UC cabin,taking everything out of the amenity kit,raising prices across the board and lowering the quality of the food..sounds like a plan to me [B)]
Obviously, from Virgin's apparent customer feedback, pretty much all UC passengers would rather spend the entire flight sitting upright working on their laptops, thus none of these fancy luxuries are rerquired that may distract from work.
To quote Del-Boy as a yuppie from Only Fools And Horses (episode where he falls through an open bar in the wine bar with Trigger), "Dinner is for wimps" - that probably explains the food too.....

for those that were not flying virgin 10 years or so ago, PE was originally called Mid-Class but was changed to PE so as to not dilute business class, ie UC traffic
I'm sure a lot of people would be offended by the below Mid-Class level obviously being called Lower Class - sounds too much like steerage on the Titanic for example.
At least with Economy, it sounds like you are gets a good cheap price on a seat etc rather than being pretty much told "you're peasant scum" or something not quite as brash.
