Day 272 - 02 Jul 96 - Page 29
1 London Greenpeace. There may have been other groups there
2 like Veggies who had some anti-McDonald's leaflets and I
3 think the film Jungleburger was shown.
4
5 Q. But you cannot remember, was there any discussion or
6 organised --
7 A. No.
8
9 Q. Was there anything organised about McDonald's?
10 A. To best of my memory, I cannot remember there being
11 that, no, although I did not play as big a part in
12 organising it obviously as I had done previously.
13
14 Q. Okay. If we move on to 26th April please, the notes of
15 Jack Russell, if I can find mine.
16 A. Yes.
17
18 Q. Now, sorry, just hold on one second because I am checking
19 something. If you cast your eye over those, there seem to
20 be a lot of letters read out?
21 A. Yes.
22
23 Q. There does not seem to be any, although this was at
24 Endsleigh Street, does there seem to be any -- was this
25 actually a public meeting?
26 A. Well, to the best of my knowledge there were not
27 speakers invited, so I guess it was not. I mean, public
28 meetings were organised when up to two people in the group
29 decided to take it upon themselves, invite speakers,
30 publicize them or show videos or do something like that,
31 and it looks like for this month no one had taken it upon
32 themselves to do that. We had the room booked regularly
33 for the last Thursday of every month at Endsleigh Street,
34 so we just went there and did there what we would have done
35 back in the office usually.
36
37 Q. Right. If you look on the second page, there is something
38 that I want to ask you about.
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. Under "reports", the last sentence says:
42
43 "Jonathan confined his report to a recent holiday in New
44 Zealand which he had spent with like-minded members of the
45 Anarcho punk movement."
46
47 Have you got any comments on that?
48 A. I would not have described Jonathan as an Anarcho
49 punk. I think Anarcho pacifist would be more accurate.
50
51 Q. And then under international mail out.
52 A. Yes.
53
54 Q. You have already said there was not an international mail
55 out that year. And it says, second sentence:
56
57 "This was to be an international mail out. Publicity
58 would be given to such matters as International
59 anti-McDonald's Day etc."
