2 MR. RAMPTON: No, it is page 5 in the bottom.
3 A. Yes, page 5.
4
5 MS. STEEL: Yes. You have mentioned about an antiMcDonald's
6 picket outside Chapel Market McDonald's. "Meet 12 noon
7 outside the Body Shop on the 6th of the first 1990." You
8 do not recollect at this distance of time, do you, whether
9 or not that was actually organised by Hackney and Islington
10 Animal Rights and it is a coming event that was being
11 announced at the meeting?
12 A. I do not know who would have organised that.
13
14 Q. But you would accept that was a possibility?
15 A. Yes.
16
17 Q. Right. Do you remember that Hackney and Islington Animal
18 Rights actually organised quite a lot of antiMcDonald's
19 pickets?
20 A. No.
21
22 Q. Do you remember quite a lot of people being involved with
23 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights?
24 A. Yes, I do, sir.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: You remember that people in the group were involved
27 with Hackney and Islington Animal Rights?
28 A. Yes.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He has just said that.
31
32 MR. MORRIS: And you remember Paul and Jane being particularly
33 involved?
34 A. In?
35
36 Q. In Hackney and Islington Animal Rights?
37 A. I recall members of the group being involved with that
38 particular group, yes.
39
40 Q. But when McDonald's matters were discussed such as that
41 picket, you would not note or you would not now recollect
42 about whether it was organised by Hackney and Islington
43 Animal Rights?
44 A. I do not recall who it was organised by.
45
46 Q. But that would go for other matters as well. If people
47 brought up some McDonald's matters you would not know
48 whether it was Hackney and Islington Animal Rights. If
49 Paul was to bring something up, whether it was to do with
50 that group or Greenpeace?
51 A. It may have been stated who was organising the activity
52 but I do not recall who, on that particular occasion, or
53 whether I would have made a note of it.
54
55 Q. Right. What I am saying is, there is a running theme
56 throughout that period of time when you were in the group
57 of, say, a picket to do with McDonald's but in your mind
58 you did not distinguish between Hackney and Islington
59 Animal Rights and London Greenpeace when it came to, say,
60 Paul or Jane reporting on something?
