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, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.

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.

Unable to do the necessary thing they dream about the “freedom” to do it and celebrate this dream as if it were a tangible thing."
