Day 268 - 24 Jun 96 - Page 06
1 fair?
2 A. Perhaps that is what it was called on that -- that is
3 what it was referred to.
4
5 Q. Mr. Bishop refers to it as the London Greenpeace fair,
6 which is the correct title for it, and that had been
7 decided sort of six months previously or something like
8 that. Can you give any explanation?
9 A. Perhaps it was still referred to by one or two members
10 as that. I cannot recall.
11
12 Q. Well, it might have been though that you just assumed it
13 was an antiMcDonald's fair because there had been previous
14 ones?
15 A. I cannot recall. It may have been said that evening
16 or referred to as such that evening. I cannot remember
17 over such a period of time.
18
19 Q. You have got: "I may be asked to run video section of the
20 fair". But you agree that you may have actually
21 volunteered to do that?
22 A. I may have volunteered. My notes actually say I was
23 asked, so I would really rather rely on my notes.
24
25 Q. Right, but it may be that you said "I will do it" and then
26 somebody else said "okay, we will see if there is anyone
27 else who might want to do it"?
28 A. I really cannot recall. I mean, my notes say I may be
29 asked, not I volunteered to, but I cannot recall.
30
31 Q. Right. There is reference to "a demonstration on Saturday
32 the 4th August outside McDonald's 7 Sisters Road. Only 3
33 people. They also heard that ronald mcdonald was going to
34 be there the following Tuesday so they went back and handed
35 out more leaflets." You have not made a note of who "they"
36 is, but would you accept that it was people involved with
37 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights?
38 A. I do not recall. I have not made a note of who the
39 "they" was, so I do not recall.
40
41 Q. Right, but you would not have any information which would
42 enable you to say that it was not Hackney and Islington
43 Animal Rights people who were reporting on it?
44 A. No, that is correct.
45
46 Q. Right. It says as well there will be an antiMcDonald's
47 stall at the fair. I put it to you that was not true,
48 there certainly was not an antiMcDonald's stall and you
49 have just got that confused?
50 A. I am relying completely on my notes. If that is a
51 note that I made following that meeting, something must
52 have been said, or I would have gleaned that information
53 from that meeting.
54
55 Q. Right. You have got a lot of other stuff that is totally
56 irrelevant. So that presumably means it was not about
57 McDonald's?
58 A. It was not about the inquiry in hand, no.
59
60 Q. Right. I now want to go to the pages, they are the ones
