00:00I wish I wasn't afraid all the time, but I am.
00:30Good evening London. Allow me first to apologize. I do, like many of you, appreciate the security
00:51of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke.
01:00But I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered,
01:06by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are,
01:11of course, those who do not want us to speak. Why? Words will always retain their power.
01:21Words are for the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.
01:27But the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?
01:35Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object,
01:41to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have sensors and systems of surveillance.
01:45How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, sadly, there are those who are more responsible than others.
01:52Others, they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty,
01:59you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. War, terror, disease...
02:07Who wouldn't be? More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the 5th of November
02:18forever in our memory. To remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words.
02:24They are perspectives. If the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked.
02:34But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, then I ask you to stand beside them, one year from tonight.
02:44And together, we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgotten.
