>The writer and commentator Gerry Hassan criticised Wigtown Book Festival for its support for Baillie Gifford.
>Posting on Twitter/X, he said: “Sad to see Wigtown defer to corporate greenwashers. This is the sort of comment such corporates want; buying cover and legitimacy while making unethical investments. Yes the cultural sector faces challenges; but we have to talk about ethics and values.”
>The festival’s account replied: “Well perhaps you should have said something while you were on our board, Gerry.”
