Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 32
1 A. Not very often.
2
3 Q. How often roughly, once a month?
4 A. Less than that.
5
6 Q. Often enough, however, to recognise him as what I might
7 call one of the old hands, yes?
8 A. Well, I am not quite sure what you mean by that. I
9 mean, I have known Mr. Morris for, as I say, about 12
10 years, so obviously at that time I knew him quite well and
11 I was aware that he had been in London Greenpeace for, you
12 know, going back several years.
13
14 Q. Perhaps you would not disagree with Mr. Gravett, 'elder
15 statesman' is quite an appropriate description is it not?
16 A. I obviously--
17
18 Q. Leave the 'statesman' out if you want?
19 A. When Mr. Gravett said that, I actually don't know what
20 an elder statesman is.
21
22 Q. It means a senior figure whose views are listened to with
23 respect by more junior members of the pack, if I can put it
24 like that; do you agree with that?
25 A. Everybody's views would be listened to with respect.
26 Nobody, as you put it to Mr. Gravett, deferred to anybody
27 else.
28
29 Q. Now then, I would like to have a more detailed look, if we
30 may, at the Clare photographs, please, Miss Steel. They
31 are, I think, behind his statement in yellow 2 tab 5. Can
32 you turn to -- sorry, I am a bit slow, can you turn to
33 photograph No. 5 please? And I remind you that the date
34 printed on the photograph is 6th March 1990. Is there
35 anything in these photographs which makes you doubt that
36 date is accurate?
37 A. I don't know.
38
39 Q. Notice, please, in this photograph at the bottom of the
40 door there is one of those world anti-McDonald's day
41 posters is there not?
42 A. We--
43
44 Q. And then there is something else about McDonald's partly
45 obscured by the chair about the same level?
46 A. It looks like an old fayre poster.
47
48 Q. Yes. Just notice in passing, it is a small point but I
49 shall be coming back to it later, above the chair on the
50 board which is blue?
51 A. I think it is something behind the window.
52
53 Q. What?
54 A. I think the blue is something behind the window.
55
56 Q. May be it is a blind or whatever. There is a picture of
57 somebody wearing what looks like a paramilitary fayre
58 uniform is there not?
59 A. I do not know about uniform, it is someone who looks
60 like he has got a camouflage jacket on carrying a pig.
