The millionaire head of shamed P&O Ferries declared “only the fittest survive” months before the cruel sacking of 800 workers, in comments blasted by a union boss.
Chief executive Peter Hebblethwaite made the remark last May after axing an initial 1,100 jobs in response to Covid.
The boss, who lives in a Cotswolds farmhouse set in six acres, said of the 2021 cull: “Only the fittest survive and we had to get fitter.”
