Day 272 - 02 Jul 96 - Page 32


     
     1        A.  Sorry.  And you felt other people should be doing like
     2        things in their own areas, and this is why the poll tax
     3        appealed to you so much, because it was very much a local
     4        grass roots thing.  I am not saying that you -- obviously
     5        your were not totally opposed to other sorts of campaigns
     6        because you initiated the Borders campaign.  I think that
     7        was after you went to Poland because you had east European
     8        friends or something or connections.  So you did that, but
     9        you were against -- I remember you saying things at the
    10        time that you did not think it was London Greenpeace's role
    11        to be doing worldwide things because we were a London
    12        group.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  But I did initiate the campaign against
    15        State Borders?
    16        A.  That was the last thing you did really in the group and
    17        that was in 1988.  Yes, you started that off.  I think you
    18        also took part, you also used to answer letters from time
    19        to time as well, particularly from local groups and things
    20        who wanted to know, like, campaigning locally. There was
    21        some campaigns at the time to do with local green open
    22        spaces that were being developed or built on and I remember
    23        you taking an interest in that.
    24
    25   Q.   Right.  Thank you.  If we could just move on to - we have
    26        nearly finished now on this particular thing - 2nd August,
    27        the notes of Brian Bishop.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   That is 162.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  And if we look on the last page of those
    32        notes, and I think this is the King's Investigation Bureau
    33        report actually that I have got rather than the notes.
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  That is signed by Mr. Bishop on page 163 and on
    36        174.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  Well, I have got a 3 page things headed King's
    39        Investigation Bureau Limited.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I know you have, but which do you want to
    42        work on?
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  I want to rely on that because I have got marks on
    45        that one.  I do not know if the other one is exactly the
    46        same or not.  In fact, the other one is exactly the same.
    47        Yes, it is same text.  It does say:
    48
    49        "The fayre on 27th October will incorporate the
    50        anti-McDonald's fayre.  I did get the impression that Dave
    51        Morris in particular did not seem to place a lot of
    52        importance on the McDonald's Company itself.  He stated
    53        that it 'just happened to be McDonald's that got chosen to
    54        represent the multinationals'."
    55
    56        Does that or does that not ring true with you as regards my
    57        attitude?
    58        A.   It does very much so, yes.  It very much accords with
    59        the sort of thing I remember you used to say, Dave, at
    60        meetings.
