COLD DAY AND CLIMATE CRISIS

Submitted by Editor on

Over 25 Extinction Rebellion activists gathered outside Baillie Gifford premises on Greenside Row this morning. 

They were protesting against the major investment firm’s management of the Scottish Parliament’s investment fund. 

In particular they opposed speculation in ‘polluting and exploitative’ fossil fuel companies such as Shell, but were also keen to highlight investment in the global arms trade and production of nuclear weapons.
