OK.

Oliver Menzies interviews Gabriel Angelis at HMP Tynefield, 10 July 2021. Transcribed by Ellie Cooper.

[Humming, like an electronic device is on, but not functioning properly. I can’t tell if the voices belong to one person or several. I think I hear the following words. EC]

Accidents, disease. Chaos always. Predestined … accept it.

[Sorry, but that’s it. I have a friend who works at a recording studio. I can ask him if there’s anything he can do to reduce the noise? EC]

Mr Blue

We can meet but don’t bring anything digital. No recording devices, phones, cameras.

Amanda Bailey

When and where?

Mr Blue

I mean it. Not your phone or any phone. They can be traced in seconds. Don’t bring your car.

Amanda Bailey

Where shall we meet and when?

Mr Blue

Don’t use public transport. Even without a travel card, you’ll be picked up on CCTV.

Amanda Bailey

I’ll get an Uber.

Mr Blue

Do not get an Uber. Walk.

Amanda Bailey

Where to?

Mr Blue

Path behind the Ballot Box at the bottom of Horsenden Hill.

Amanda Bailey

That’s pretty isolated.

Mr Blue

One fifteen tomorrow morning.
