I'm sorry for saying that hypnosis could make women’s breasts bigger, Green leader Zack Polanski has said Polanski said he could use his mind to enlarge breasts in a 2013 interview 'I've apologised several times...most people are interested in how I'm going to lower bills'

“ MOWI working conditions slammed Controversial Norwegian fish-farming firm MOWI, which has 1000 workers at Rosyth, is being accused of poor working conditions at the plant, including a dire lack of toilets and washing facilities, timed seven-minute toilet breaks, and inadequate seating in the canteen, forcing some workers to eat standing up during half-hour breaks. The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union accuses the firm of ignoring Health and Safety Executive advice. The union claims workers must work for prolonged periods in almost freezing temperatures, and say the firm also have risky manual handling practices; the union also has concerns over the firm’s sickness policy. MOWI’s Unimpressive Track Record The BFAWU union is asking the HSE to attend unannounced, alleging that management have in fact been notified of previous ‘unannounced visits’. Fife MSP Alex Rowley has also been notified of conditions at the firm by his constituents, and found the firm ‘defensive’ and staff ‘frightened to speak out’. This is not the firm’s first skirmish. It was accused of destroying a large part of the Murray’s Cauld Weir on the Ettrick Water in Selkirk, through inaction, leading to the sale of its nearby fish farm to a local businessman who commenced remedial work. Its operations in Chile have resulted in millions of fish dying from Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA). Infections were alleged to be caused by overuse of antibiotics in Chile and having fish pens too close to each other. Private Eye magazine claimed in 2017 that MOWI deposited large quantities of the insecticide azamethiphos into Scottish waters to control sea lice in salmon. It allegedly overstocked a fish farm in County Kerry, Ireland, leading to it losing a fish farm licence. And in 2020, MOWI Scotland assistant manager Clive Hendry, died after being crushed between a workboat and a large barge and drowning. On that occasion the Marine Accident Investigation Branch criticised MOWI safety processes, saying they should introduce processes to comply with the International Safety Management Code. “ isp.scot/july-5th-july-…
