Day 272 - 02 Jul 96 - Page 54
1 organiser?
2 A. No. I was trusted, I was interested in it.
3
4 Q. Of course.
5 A. That is how I got involved and people trusted me to the
6 campaign. By and large I think they thought I did a pretty
7 good job of it.
8
9 Q. The group was very proud of its anti-McDonald's fact sheet,
10 was it not, "our famous fact sheet"? All over the world
11 people had been using it. Until the writs in this case had
12 been issued, Mr. Gravett, they embraced it as though it was
13 a long lost child, did they not? They loved it?
14 A. I think that is going a bit far, I really do. There
15 were very few copies of the facts sheets around in 1990 for
16 anyone to embrace.
17
18 Q. Then please turn to - I am sorry about this paper chasing,
19 there is nothing I can do about it - tab 60A in that file
20 and to page 8. I hope your pages are numbered. It is
21 called anti-McDonald's.... That is the one, yes.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What has it got at the top?
24
25 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, it has got Greenpeace London and it is a
26 press release 10.8. So the fact is that the '89 is
27 missing. For publication, it says. Then it says:
28
29 "Greenpeace London anti-McDonald's campaign '89."
30
31 Has your Lordship got that?
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
34
35 MR. RAMPTON: It has got an "H" in inverted commas in the top
36 right-hand corner in handwriting.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have got a black top right-hand corner. It
39 has wobbly A in campaign.
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: That is right. It was a particularly odd thing
42 that slipped. Mr. Gravett, do you recognise this
43 document? I can tell you that it was originally green in
44 colour or the original is green.
45 A. Yes, I do recognise it.
46
47 Q. Who composed this one, do you know?
48 A. I did.
49
50 Q. You did?
51 A. Yes.
52
53 Q. And it says:
54
55 On the 16th October world day - this is 1989 - world day of
56 action against McDonald's once again Greenpeace London is
57 calling for October the 16th United Nations world food day
58 to be a worldwide day of action against the McDonald's
59 Hamburger Corporation".
60 A. Yes.
