Day 267 - 21 Jun 96 - Page 37
1 have taken part or to have witnessed the event." There is
2 nothing remotely like an admission that we were involved in
3 rioting, is there?
4 A. Well, my notes say to the contrary.
5
6 Q. Then Mr. Pocklington has got: "It was mentioned at the
7 meetings that Aldgate Press", and he has got Aldgate which
8 is right, bearing in mind that you have mentioned Aldgate
9 previously in your notes. So, it clearly was not Organic
10 Press that was mentioned, was it?
11 A. I am relying on my notes and that is what I made a
12 note of as being mentioned.
13
14 Q. Why do you not accept that your notes are incorrect on this
15 occasion?
16 A. Because that is what I made a note of at that time and
17 that is what I am relying upon.
18
19 Q. So, your memory was incorrect?
20 A. No, I made a note following that meeting and that is
21 what I have written down.
22
23 Q. You just wrote down any old thing and you did not take any
24 care about what you were writing.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You must move on from the point.
27
28 MS. STEEL: This is the final question I am going to ask on
29 that. You just wrote down any old thing and you did not
30 take any care about what you were writing, did you?
31 A. I disagree with that comment.
32
33 MR. MORRIS: Are you saying that Paul Gravett got the name of
34 the group that you were involved -----
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, do not answer this question. Please move
37 on. If you have got a good point, you must have laid the
38 ground for it several questions ago. Just coming back to
39 it because you cannot get the witness to agree with you is
40 totally unproductive.
41
42 MS. STEEL: OK. If we move on to the 12th of the 4th of 1990.
43 This is a meeting at Caledonian Road. It is page 21 of
44 your notes.
45
46 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, that is 105.
47
48 MS. STEEL: "Persons present: Paul, Jane, Ben, new man, new
49 woman, Gabriel and a new couple from Kent", and then you
50 have underneath the blanked out part, "Paul admitted to
51 using 'Aldgate Press' to print their McDonald's forms."
52 Do you know what a form is?
53 A. It would probably refer to literature of some kind.
54
55 Q. Basic talk about unrelated topics. Do you know who the
56 "their" is? "'Their' McDonald's forms", or whether it is
57 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights or London Greenpeace?
58 A. I would assume, from looking at that, London
59 Greenpeace.
