Day 261 - 12 Jun 96 - Page 66


     
     1        group, I had indicated, and other times I was not involved
     2        with the group?
     3        A.  I presume that is what you meant.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what you were saying to him.
     6
     7   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  I thought that was particularly significant,
     8        but you did not write it down.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not want you to assume that he is
    11        agreeing that you had been involved with the group on and
    12        off.  All he is agreeing is that that is what you said.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  That is what I said.  Yes.  It seems pretty
    15        accurate to me.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There was no hidden agenda -- which is a
    18        phrase you use.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  No.  Just a general question about the office and
    21        the meeting room.  You say the meeting room, the public
    22        meetings were held in Endsleigh Street which, if you look
    23        at the bottom of the very first paragraph in that
    24        statement -- "The room had much literature around the walls
    25        relating to the Peace Movement."  It was a Peace Movement
    26        building, was it not?
    27        A.  I do not know who owned the building.
    28
    29   Q.   If anyone is interested, it is owned by the Peace Pledge
    30        Union, the building.  That is the building where
    31        London Greenpeace used to meet regularly, before they
    32        started meeting regularly at the Caledonian Road.  You
    33        remember, in the previous notes, you said that?
    34        A.  I cannot answer that.  Someone had said that to me.
    35        I am not aware, I had no involvement with the group prior
    36        to that.
    37
    38   Q.   Are you aware that the Caledonian Road offices are also a
    39        Peace Movement building, owned by Peace News Limited?
    40        A.  No, I am not.  Well, I am now.
    41
    42   Q.   At that meeting, you have recorded me as saying that --
    43        well, I presume it is, yes -- on page 2 of those notes, in
    44        the middle, you say: "The speakers from London Greenpeace,
    45        the most vocal member was a man called Dave."
    46
    47        Then in the first paragraph, you say: "Then a speaker from
    48        London Greenpeace spoke.  He spoke in very general terms
    49        about how worldwide oppression of any kind must be
    50        combatted by a struggle of individuals from within and that 
    51        it could not be combatted by any government action, because 
    52        government of any kind was part of the oppressive system 
    53        that must be combatted."
    54
    55        So, is that your recollection, that I gave a general view
    56        about, if you like, of the ethos, the Greenpeace ethos, or
    57        whatever?
    58        A.  If you are the speaker I was referring to.
    59
    60   Q.   In general terms?
