     2   Q.   I think it represents ecology generally?
     3        A.  Okay.  As far as I remember I have seen it in on
     4        ecological things, but I associated it with antinuclear
     5        power.
     6
     7   Q.   Right.  And the broken rifle and the ecological cross bar
     8        form an "A" do they, which stand for what?
     9        A.  Anarchism.
    10
    11   Q.   The building 6, Endsleigh Street, what kind of building is
    12        that; is it a centre?
    13        A.  It is owned by the Peace Pledge Union I think and I
    14        think there is various peace groups based in that
    15        building.  As I understand it, that was where London
    16        Greenpeace originally had its offices.  Although I was not
    17        around at that time, but I do remember that being said when
    18        the history of the group was came up at meetings from time
    19        to time.
    20
    21   Q.   The 5, Caledonia Road building; do you know what manages
    22        that building?
    23        A.  Peace News Trustees.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Who?
    26        A.  Peace News Trustees and also there is offices of
    27        various peace groups:  War Resisters International, Peace
    28        Brigade International and other peace groups have their
    29        offices there.  I think London Greenpeace, as far as I
    30        know, has had a quite a longstanding involvement with that
    31        building as well.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  A small point, when you looked at the poster about
    34        the IMF on the wall in the London Greenpeace office you
    35        pointed out in the photograph, you said this was a
    36        demonstration against the IMF.  Which group organised that
    37        or who organised that demonstration that there was a
    38        photograph of?
    39        A.  It was a London Greenpeace picket of the Bank of
    40        England.
    41
    42   Q.   Had you been involved with that?
    43        A.  Yes.  I was one of the organisers of the protest.
    44
    45   Q.   A question about meetings at the London Greenpeace offices
    46        or indeed at Endsleigh Street.  Was it a case of once
    47        people arrived they stayed glued to their seats until the
    48        final end of the meeting, or was it the case that people
    49        tend to come in early, sorry, come in late, leave early,
    50        sometimes go in and out during the meeting?
    51        A.  Well, I mean, generally speaking, they were pretty sort
    52        of haphazard really.  Because invariably there would be
    53        people who would be late, there would be people who had to
    54        leave early because they had other commitments or because
    55        they had to be able to get back because there was not
    56        transport available.  Sometimes people would go out and
    57        make take the phone out and make personal phone calls,
    58        obviously.
