Lewd secret Santa gift left abattoir worker in tears
A health and safety manager at an abattoir has sued his workplace for sexual harassment over a secret Santa gift. Barry Cochrane was reduced to tears and felt he had no option but to resign after his colleague was given a mug that revealed a crude message about 'teabagging' when filled with hot liquid. Mr Cochrane had not been at the meeting when the presents were exchanged, but took offence when he felt jokes were made at his expense when 'sexual content' was being discussed. After being added to a work group chat, he scrolled up to find a colleague had said she was 'thankful' he had not seen the mug. Mr Cochrane said he felt 'humiliated' and tried to sue his employer for unfair dismissal and sexual harassment. A judge dismissed his claims in their entirety, finding Mr Cochrane's reaction to be 'disproportionate' and ' confected with litigation in mind '. The tribunal, held in Aberdeen, was told Mr Cochrane started working for Neerock, a Morrisons-owned meat-processing company, as a health and safety specialist on Dec 11 2023. Mr Cochrane was initially invited to the meeting where gifts were exchanged on Dec 12, but his invitation had been withdrawn because of a delay in his start date. 'Singled out' David Orton, a senior health and safety manager at Morrisons, received the gift and 'suspected that there may be something on the mug which might not be appropriate to show in a work meeting'. Mr Orton unwrapped the gift at home to find a blank mug which, when filled with hot fluid, revealed a picture of a pair of testicles wrapped in a bow-tie with the phrase 'I love teabagging' underneath. He took a picture of the mug and sent it to a team group chat, adding: 'I think I need to have a word with Santa.' Various employees reacted to the messages with laughing emojis, before Sally Smith, head of health and safety for Morrisons, wrote: 'Just checked and thankfully Barry isn't on here yet is he!' Mr Orton commented 'not yet!' and minutes later Ms Smith added Mr Cochrane to the group chat but was unaware he would be able to read earlier messages. On Dec 20, Mr Cochrane saw the messages and cried at work, before packing up his belongings and leaving the office. He told Mr Orton among other issues he was leaving 'because he had been singled out on the group chat'. 'No option but to resign' When Mr Cochrane returned home, he sent an email titled 'resignation due to being named in sexual content', in which he said he had felt 'humiliated'. He added: 'The job is tough enough and there is lots to do but I would have got to that in time, but after seeing this sexual content and naming me (and only me) I have no option but to resign.' Mr Orton later said he regretted sending the picture, adding that it was 'meant in the spirit of a laugh'. Ms Smith said that she made the comment because she thought 'oh what will Barry think of us' having not been in the meeting or understanding the context of the message. Employment Judge Murdo Macleod said the pair's explanation for their comments was 'entirely credible'. He added: 'We consider that [Mr Cochrane's] reaction was disproportionate, given that he was not involved in the exchange and that it was plainly not directed at him at that time it was posted. 'His outrage at his name being mentioned on the thread is confected, with this litigation in mind.'

Major UK supermarket launches its own £129-a-month fat jab club - but some shoppers are not impressed
Morrisons has opened its own £129-a-month fat jab club, which has left some shoppers unimpressed. The chain says tirzepatide injections, sold under the brand name Mounjaro, can help users shed up to 20 per cent of their body weight. But this has led to some shoppers pointing out what they perceive as the chain's hypocrisy in selling fatty and sugary food and then in turn charging customers triple figures to help them lose weight, The Sun reports. One shopper said: 'This seems so unethical' whilst another added: 'You can buy your fatty and sugary foods and then a magic jab to make the results go away.' Another called the idea 'genius', saying: 'The store sells you unhealthy grub that gets you fat, then wants vast sums of money to get you thin.' Another added: 'How funny! Stuff your face with a six-pack of doughnuts, a multipack of Walkers crisps, a few sausage rolls followed by a tub of Ben & Jerry's - and then for the privilege of parting with £129 you might lose weight! Oh my days.' On its clinic website, the chain says the self-injectable pen design can be used once a week and to be used consistently. Morrisons Clinic: 'Our approach to weight-loss treatments is based on three core factors, designed with your long-term health as our priority. 'Our expert prescribing pharmacists are specially trained to review, consult and provide medications online. Your healthcare journey is in safe hands. 'Our services are delivered by a team of dedicated pharmacists, prescribers and clinicians.' Morrisons Clinic says the sign-up fee will rise to £159-a-month after the offer period. It comes as previously reported that the UK medicines regulator has launched a probe into the safety of fat jabs after hundreds of Britons developed pancreatitis, leaving ten dead. Officials are examining whether those affected have a genetic trait that leaves them at greater risk of side-effects from the likes of Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it has received more than 560 reports of people developing an inflamed pancreas after taking so-called 'GLP-1' injections since they were first launched. Ten cases proved fatal. These drugs are typically known as 'fat jabs' or 'skinny jabs' as they are frequently used for weight management, but some are primarily licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The MHRA is now calling for users who are admitted to hospital with pancreatitis to report the side effect to authorities using the regulator's Yellow Card scheme. Healthcare workers can also submit a report on patients' behalf. When a Yellow Card report is received, the MHRA will contact patients to ask if they would be willing to take part in the new Biobank study, in collaboration with Genomics England. This would involve providing further information and submitting a saliva sample which will be used to explore whether some people are at a higher risk of acute pancreatitis when taking these medicines due to their genetic makeup.
