Day 272 - 02 Jul 96 - Page 25
1 A. Yes.
2
3 Q. Then it was says:
4
5 "Then a speaker from London Greenpeace spoke". Do you
6 remember anything about this meeting?
7 A. I was at the meeting and I, for want of a better word,
8 I think chaired it, because it was a public meeting. I
9 introduced the meeting, the group and the speakers.
10
11 Q. Do you know who organised this meeting?
12 A. Yes, I did.
13
14 Q. You did?
15 A. Yes, I organised this meeting.
16
17 Q. Right. And did I speak at this meeting, from what you
18 remember?
19 A. Yes, I remember that you did, yes.
20
21 Q. Do you remember how that came about?
22 A. Well, I think I asked you because I knew you had been
23 in the group a long time. You knew more about the history
24 of the group going back to the 70's and early 80's. It was
25 basically a philosophical debate. I think it was called
26 "which way forward for the green movement, reform or
27 revolution". It was a philosophical debate. It was not
28 discussed in specific campaigns. And you spoke on behalf
29 of London Greenpeace about the philosophy of the group, I
30 believe.
31
32 Q. Right. Well then --
33 A. You know, you were considered, you know, a good public
34 speaker, Dave.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: When you say "the group" this time, you do
37 mean London Greenpeace?
38 A. Yes.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: At the bottom of the second page of those notes it
41 says that I spoke to Mr. Pocklington and said that I had
42 been off and on involved with the group for about ten years
43 and you said that my attendance had been tailing off from
44 about, I cannot remember what you said now?
45 A. '87.
46
47 Q. From when you really got involved with the group?
48 A. Yes.
49
50 Q. Had I ever said about what my involvement previously was
51 and, if so, does it accord with what it says there? It is
52 the bottom of the second page. It does not matter that
53 much. I am just saying did I ever speak about what my
54 involvement with London Greenpeace was to you previous to
55 you joining the group?
56
57 MR. RAMPTON: I hesitate to be technical about this, but it is
58 not actually permitted to lead self-serving hearsay
59 evidence of this kind. What Mr. Morris may or may not have
60 done in relation to the group is a matter about which he or
