Day 276 - 09 Jul 96 - Page 39
1 was living in Yorkshire I was growing my own food.

3 The other thing that I notice is still outstanding is
4 the extra points that were served in relation to Jane
5 Portland, Mr. Gravett, and I am not sure that there is
6 anything that has not been covered. I will just check.
7
8 Q. What I think I will do is say that you can have the time
9 now. I will take a five minute break there anyway. You
10 can check through those notes and give a moment or two's
11 thought to whether there are any points, apart from those
12 you have made notes on?
13 A. Yes.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
16
17 (Short adjournment)
18
19 MS. STEEL: Yes, the additional points: I cannot remember
20 whether I have already said this or not, but just in case I
21 have not, Michelle Hooker was involved in organising the
22 London Greenpeace fayre in 1990, including making
23 announcements in the stage during the day and coordinating
24 events. I can recollect both Alan Clare and Roy
25 Pocklington taking the minutes of London Greenpeace
26 meetings on more than one occasion.
27
28 But it was always my understanding that Veggies in
29 Nottingham and other groups such as, I think, Ark Print (?)
30 were the ones that were distributing in bulk the various
31 versions of the anti-McDonald's leaflets and fact sheets,
32 rather than London Greenpeace. The meeting of 25th January
33 1990 was not advertised as a public meeting. That
34 Mr. Pocklington, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Clare and Michelle Hooker
35 were most definitely considered to be among the regulars at
36 meetings. That all four expressed interest in
37 anti-McDonald's campaigning, asking questions about the
38 campaign and that none of them ever disassociated
39 themselves from any discussion at meetings about
40 McDonald's. I think that is it. Mr. Morris' Haringey
41 affidavit, my affidavit has been taken as read; has it
42 not?
43
44 Q. Yes?
45 A. Right, okay. I think that is it then.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
48
49 Cross-examined by MR. MORRIS:
50
51 Q. I want to go through a few points which you raised in no
52 particular order, well, the order that you raised them in.
53 We have dealt with that actually. Yes, when you said you
54 had read a copy of Peace News that reported about the legal
55 dispute between Veggies and McDonald's; do you remember?
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. And I think you said that the effect of it was that
59 McDonald's had not sued over a number of, or most of the
60 contents of the Veggies fact sheet?
