2 The next thing is in Mr. Bishop's notes of 24th May.
3 Mr. Bishop says about Alan and Roseanne arriving together,
4 and he says something else later about them being
5 together. Yes, he says her friend -- he talks about her
6 friend. Thinking back, I am pretty sure I know who
7 Roseanne is and, if it is who I think she is, she was not a
8 friend of Alan, and obviously Alan is Mr. Claire who has
9 not said anything about attending with her, and I think
10 this is just an assumption that has been made by Mr. Bishop
11 in the same way that he makes assumptions about the way
12 that the group operates and who is supposedly in charge.
13
14 The other thing on this page is that he talks about
15 London Greenpeace not caring about whether money was
16 supposed to be going to Greenpeace International from the
17 musicians network or whether it was supposed to be for
18 Greenpeace London.
19
20 MR. MORRIS: That is at the bottom of the page?
21 A. Supposedly someone said that it did not matter as long
22 as it was the Greenpeace London that actually got the
23 money. Well, that is just to say that the musicians
24 network shared an office with Greenpeace London and they
25 were a group that had regular contact with Greenpeace
26 London and they would know exactly who the group was and
27 who they were trying to give money to, so that is basically
28 untrue, what he has written there.
29
30 Page 124, Mr. Bishop says that Anthony makes a comment
31 that neither Helen or Dave, the two signatories to the bank
32 account, had been to a meeting for some months. Obviously,
33 as I have said, Mr. Morris was not a signatory to the
34 account. I had certainly been to a meeting that
35 Mr. Pocklington was at within the last month anyway so I
36 would not have thought that he would make that comment.
37
38 What is described about me arriving with a specific
39 request from Dave that I be told about what was going to
40 happen at a public meeting next week, and that the whole
41 matter was discussed again and then I telephoned Dave
42 Morris who had a long talk with Marion via the telephone.
43 I mean, I can say categorically that this would not have
44 happened in the way that has been described here. It is
45 possible that I bumped into to Mr. Morris and he, for
46 example, gave me a copy of this leaflet about the Trafalgar
47 Square defendant's campaign and said "could I bring that up
48 at a meeting" and that he said, "Oh, yes, and what is going
49 on generally, what is the next public meeting about", or
50 something like that, and I would relay that to the
51 meeting. But I would not run around trying to get
52 everything done for him, or I would not be acting under his
53 instructions.
54
55 Mr. Pocklington describes it as Mr. Morris
56 telephoning, and I think that is far more likely, that
57 Mr. Morris telephoned in and asked what was going on with
58 the meeting next week and then spoke to Marion. I really
59 cannot believe that I would telephone Dave Morris just to
60 hand him to Marion, who was well acquainted with Dave
