I don't think the pink slime being discussed here is MRM, in the sense that it's not removed mechanically (even if lots of machinery and processing is used after the fact).
In the UK, I don't think we have the equivalent of this pink slime, or at least I've never heard of it.
Ground beef in the UK is generally labelled as "beef mince" or "steak mince", where "steak mince" is minced beef produced by mincing whole cuts (such as flank), and "beef mince" can also contain minced trimmings, and generally has a higher fat content.
I have no problem buying either of these. Indeed, sometimes you want a higher fat content, such as when making burgers.
Thr pink slime in the article seems to be something inbetween MRM and trimmings, and I would have a problem with buying it.
