     1   Q.   Right.
     2        A.   Yes.  Yes, that is what it was, yes.
     3
     4   Q.   Okay.
     5        A.   Except I did not, in fact, issue press releases in the
     6        end.
     7
     8   Q.   You did not do a press release in the end?
     9        A.   No.
    10
    11   Q.   I am sorry, I did not hear what you said?
    12        A.   It says I will try to issue some but I did not get
    13        round to it.
    14
    15   Q.   Right.  If we go on to the notes on page 95, this is the
    16        notes of Mr. Claire.  And two pages on there should be a
    17        note of Mr. Pocklington for the same meeting.
    18        A.   Yes.
    19
    20   Q.   Paragraph 1A, if you just read that to yourself.  (Pause)
         A.   Yes.
    22
    23   Q.   Did you ever hear me say such a thing?
    24        A.   I cannot recollect you ever saying it, no.  No, I
    25        think what you may have said is that you attended some poll
    26        tax demonstrations, which is what we were all doing then,
    27        but not that you were going round involved in riots, no.
    28
    29   Q.   Well, if you read - well, Mr. Pocklington gives an account
    30        of it as well.  The second thing, if you also look at
    31        paragraph 2B, it says that Paul mentioned --
    32        A.   I admitted I attended all to the above.  Well, I do
    33        not think that is true.  I did not, no, sorry.
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  Is it true or not true?
    36        A.   It is not true.  I did not go to all those places on
    37        poll tax demonstrations, let alone riots.
    38
    39   MS. STEEL: "Paul mentioned the Organic Press printers has
    40        printed 10,000 anti-McDonald's leaflets by mistake."
    41
    42        Do you have any comment to make about whether or not you
    43        would have said Organic Press?
    44        A.   I would not, would I?  I mean, there was no Organic
    45        Press.  He means Allgate Press.  He has confused the
    46        words.
    47
    48   Q.   Mr. Pocklington has got that at the bottom of page 99,
    49        account on the same date.  Do you have any comment on Mr.
    50        Pocklington's account of what is written there?
    51        A.   Yes, I think that accords with what I remember of it.
    52
    53   Q.   Right.
    54        A.   Yes.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   You have read all these notes through, have
    57        you?
    58        A.   Yes.
    59
    60   Q.   Whatever you say about Mr. Claire's notes, did Mr.
