Freeports and Special Economic Zones - Friend or Foe? (Audio only)

David Powell appeared on John Drummond's TNT show recently with a worrying take on the proliferation of Freeports and Special Economic Zones across the UK and the sinister forces which may lie behind them. This is in marked contrast to the reassuring statements being made by the Scottish Government in relation to Green Freeports. Let us know what you think about both perspectives!
David is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and describes himself as a "reluctant" political activist. He is a prolific commentator on twitter where he is better known as @EuropeanPowell

While initially being a supporter of Greenports on the grounds that they would bring jobs & investment to the areas concerned, I kept an open mind to arguments against, such as businesses which might move from other areas out-with these zones. I would welcome hearing from Kate Forbes, to hear more details on how Greenports could benefit the economy & how that would affect the wider population in Scotland.
