Good evening, London.Allow me first to apologize .I do, like manyof you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine,thesecurity of the familiar,the tranquility of repetition.I enjoy themas much as any bloke.But in the spirit of commemoration.Wherebyimportant events of the past usually associated with someone'sdeath or the end of some awful, bloody struggle are celebrated witha nice holiday.I thought we could mark this November the 5th a daythat is, sadly,no longer remembered by taking some time out of ourdaily lives to sit down and have a little chat.There are, ofcourse,those who do not want us to speak.Even now, orders are beingshouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on theirway.Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu ofconversation, words will always retain their power.Words offer themeans to meaning and, for those who will listen,the enunciation oftruth.And the truth is ：there is something terribly wrong with thiscountry, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice,intolerance andoppression.And where once you had the freedom to object to thinkand speak as you saw fit， you now have censors and surveillancecoercing your conformity and soliciting submission.
How did this happen? Who's to blame?Certainly there are those whoare more responsible than others.And they will be heldaccountable.But again, truth be told,if you're looking for theguilty you need only look into a mirror.I know why you did it.Iknow you were afraid.Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease.Therewere a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reasonand rob you of your common sense.
Fear got the best of you.And in your panic, you turned to thenow High Chancellor Adam Sutler.He promised you order,he promisedyou peace and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedientconsent. Last night, I sought to end that silence.Last night,Idestroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it hasforgotten.More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wished to imbedthe 5th of November forever in our memory.His hope was to remindthe world that fairness, justice and freedom are more thanwords.They are perspectives.So if you've seen nothing ,if thecrimes of this government remain unknown to you,then I wouldsuggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked.But ifyou see what I see ,if you feel as I feel,and if you would seek asI seek,then I ask you to stand beside me,one year fromtonight,outside the gates of Parliament.And together, we shall givethem a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgot.
