Sobre mim

Good evening, London. Allow me first to
apologize for this interruption. I do, like
many of you, appreciate the comforts of
every day routine- the security of the
familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I
enjoy them as much as any bloke.
But in the spirit of commemoration,
thereby those important events of
the past usually associated with
someone's death or the end of
some awful bloody struggle, a
celebration of a nice holiday, I
thought we could mark this
November the 5th, a day that
is sadly no longer remembered,
by taking some time out of our
daily lives to sit down and have a
little chat. There are of course those
who do not want us to speak. I
suspect even now, orders are being
shouted into telephones, and men with
guns will soon be on their way. Why?
Because while the truncheon may be
used in lieu of conversation, words
will always retain their power. Words
offer the means to meaning, and for those
who will listen, the enunciation of truth.
And the truth is, there is something terribly
wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty
and injustice, intolerance and oppression.
And where once you had the freedom to object,
to think and speak as you saw fit, you now
have censors and systems of surveillance
coercing your conformity and soliciting your
submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame?
Well certainly there are those more responsible than
others, and they will be held accountable, but again
truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need
only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I
know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War,
terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems
which conspired to corrupt your reason and
rob you of your common sense. Fear got the
best of you, and in your panic you turned to
the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He
promised you order, he promised you peace,
and all he demanded in return was your silent,
obedient consent. Last night I sought to end
that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey,
to remind this country of what it has forgotten.
More than four hundred years ago a great
citizen wished to embed the fifth of November
forever in our memory. His hope was to remind
the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are
more than words, they are perspectives. So if
you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this
government remain unknown to you then
I would suggest you allow the fifth of November
to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see,
if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as
I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year
from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament,
and together we shall give them a fifth of November
that shall never, ever be forgot.
