Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 12
1 a lot of them have been read out time and time again, so it
2 may save time if I just read out the relevant bits and ask
3 a question. There was just, Mr. Pocklington said on 26th
4 October--
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Well, if you are not going to give us pages
7 you have to allow us time to--
8
9 MR. MORRIS: Yes, it is something that has been read out three
10 or four times. It is just a hook to hang a question on,
11 really.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I would still like to--
14
15 MR. MORRIS: I think it is actually page 17. I have made a
16 little note.
17 A. 17 is the second page of the 26th.
18
19 Q. Yes, that is correct. It is just that Mr. Pocklington says
20 that I told him on 26th October 1989 that I had been
21 involved with London Greenpeace off and on for about 10
22 years. Was that an impression you got before you joined
23 the group, that I had been involved off and on for some,
24 maybe 8, years before you joined?
25 A. I have certainly had the impression that your
26 involvement has been on an off and on basis--
27
28 Q. The next one I was going to look at is the 25th January and
29 I have not got a page number. It is the notes of
30 Mr. Pocklington.
31 A. It is page 68.
32
33 Q. This is a meeting which you attended about the future of
34 the group which, incidentally, I now recall attending, that
35 the 'Dave' there mentioned is me, and you said there was no
36 public at that meeting, I believe you said?
37 A. It was not advertised as a public meeting, and looking
38 at the names of the people who were there they were all
39 people who off and on had involvement with the group.
40 Obviously, Paul, myself, John, Jonathan had a regular
41 attendance. Andrew Clarke was fairly regular, although he
42 tailed off in 1990. Moe, yourself, and Marion were all
43 people who had been involved in the past.
44
45 Q. And there is a discussion on the second page, or a report
46 about a discussion, about McDonald's activities, and there
47 seem to be some kind of theme that came out of it that the
48 campaign would not be totally ignored, but there were other
49 projects which were more important. But, in terms of the
50 arguments or discussion at that meeting, do you recall me
51 arguing that the McDonald's campaign should be dropped by
52 the group?
53 A. I do recall you arguing that on a couple of occasions,
54 although I could not specifically say this particular
55 meeting, but--
56
57 Q. Right. Do you remember this being one of the -- well, no,
58 I will move on from that, I think.
59
60 You said that -- I don't know if this comes up in a
