Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 13

     
     1        later note but I might as well ask it now -- the previous
     2        year's anti-McDonald's fayre, if you remember there had
     3        been discussion, or a number of discussions, about whether
     4        it should continue, whether it should change its name?
     5        A.  You mean the 1990 one?
     6
     7   Q.   Yes, following the 1989 fayre.  I mean, for example, at
     8        this meeting there was discussion about the anti-McDonald's
     9        fayre and said it was not to be repeated.  Do you remember
    10        me being one of the people arguing against having another
    11        anti-McDonald's fayre?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   And was the idea to have a London Greenpeace fayre a kind
    15        of, like, a midway position between various views that were
    16        being expressed?
    17        A.  My recollection of what happened, and I cannot say what
    18        happened on what particular dates, was that there were some
    19        people who were keen to have another anti-McDonald's
    20        fayre.  I did not want a fayre at all, because I thought
         that people got roped in on the day and it took up too much
    22        energy, and that you were against having another
    23        anti-McDonald's fayre.  But Moe made a suggestion about
    24        making it, to have another one the next year, because he
    25        was keen on the fayre, and that that would be the last one
    26        and then, like, encourage other people to do their own
    27        around the country.  But that until the end, yes, it was
    28        decided that there would just be a London Greenpeace fayre
    29        covering all the issues rather than, you know, having the
    30        name anti-McDonald's fayre.
    31
    32             I mean, from what I can see, more or less the stalls
    33         -- I mean, there was a bit of difference, but they were
    34        more or less the same because the ones at the
    35        anti-McDonald's fayre, well, there weren't any specifically
    36        about McDonald's anyway, but they were all the issues.
    37
    38   Q.   If we go to 1st March, page 89, notes of Roy Pocklington.
    39        This is the one where Mr. Pocklington says that you, Jane,
    40        me and Alan from Catford and himself were present due to
         the lack of numbers and the lack of essential -- in quotes
    42         -- "people at the meeting nothing was discussed of any
    43        import".  And I -- do you remember me reporting about my
    44        domestic circumstances?
    45        A.  I mean, I can't say specifically about that meeting but
    46        I was well aware of your domestic circumstances and it is
    47        the sort of thing that you probably would say, yes.
    48
    49   Q.   I think you have dealt with what Mr. Clare had put in his
    50        notes?
    51        A.  Yes.
    52
    53   Q.   I just cannot remember what page number that is, but?
    54        A.  Page 87.
    55
    56   Q.   I will not ask you about that.  I will not ask you about
    57        that.  Before the domestic crisis which I suffered in
    58        August 1989, and you were -- you knew me because of local
    59        activities, the unwaged centre and different campaigns
    60        going on in Tottenham, yes?
