Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 29
1 A. Well it depends what you mean, really.
2
3 Q. Mr. Gravett told us that he thought that something like
4 2,000 people attended the anti-McDonald's fayre on 21st
5 October 1989; is that about right do you think?
6 A. It is quite possible, but I don't know.
7
8 Q. And you were there, at any rate for some of that day were
9 you not?
10 A. 1989?
11
12 Q. Yes?
13 A. Yes.
14
15 Q. And so was Mr. Morris. According to him he was there for
16 the whole day?
17 A. I think so, yes.
18
19 Q. That's right, and that was part of the anti-McDonald's
20 campaign too was it not?
21 A. It was an event organised by Mr. Gravett and other
22 people who were running the anti-McDonald's campaign.
23
24 Q. Why did you go?
25 A. Well, because I was interested in the stalls that would
26 be there, interested to look round. I do remember that I
27 was working in the creche some of the time. That was, you
28 know --
29
30 Q. Why did you go to the picket five days earlier, on 16th?
31 A. To show my opposition to McDonald's and other
32 multinational companies making profits from exploiting the
33 earth.
34
35 Q. And if you had been handing out copies of the famous fact
36 sheet--
37 A. Well, I wouldn't have been.
38
39 Q. -- on that occasion, that is not something you would have
40 been ashamed of is it?
41 A. I wouldn't have been ashamed of it, no, but I wouldn't
42 have been doing it because ever since I had ever got
43 involved with the group it had just been said time and time
44 again that a decision had been made at some stage that the
45 group could not afford to get leaflets, to get the
46 fact sheets reprinted, and that they were considered to be
47 too long for, you know, people to take in if they were
48 handed them on the picket, and so they were saved for
49 specific inquiries.
50
51 Q. They were in sufficient supply, weren't they, for
52 Mr. Gravett on behalf of London Greenpeace to send them
53 with his press release in August 1989; weren't they?
54 A. I really don't know.
55
56 Q. Would you like to have a look at another document, please?
57 That is at tab 60A in the same file, at page 6, please,
58 where I hope you will find something called
59 "Anti-McDonald's campaign 1990"?
60 A. Yes.
