Dad, what's wrong with the telly?
- Allow me first to apologize…
- That's the emergency channel!
I do, like many of you, appreciate
the comforts of the everyday routine…
… the security of the familiar,
the tranquility of repetition.
I enjoy them as much as any bloke.
But in the spirit of commemoration…
- Whereby important events of the past…
… usually associated with someone's death
or the end of some awful, bloody struggle…
… are celebrated with a nice holiday…
… by taking some time out of our daily lives
to sit down and have a little chat.
those who do not want us to speak.
Even now, orders are being shouted
- It's Chancellor Sutler.
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,
… there is something terribly wrong
with this country, isn't there?
You designed it, wanted it foolproof.
You said every television in London!
you had the freedom to object…
… to think and speak as you saw fit…
… you now have censors and surveillance
How did this happen? Who's to blame?
who are more responsible than others.
And they will be held accountable.
if you're looking for the guilty…
… you need only look into a mirror.
Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease.
There were a myriad of problems
and rob you of your common sense.
And in your panic, you turned to
the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler.
… and all he demanded in return
was your silent, obedient consent.
- Inspector, they're almost through.
- Last night, I sought to end that silence.
More than 400 years ago, a great citizen
wished to imbed the 5th of November…
His hope was to remind the world
that fairness, justice and freedom…
… if the crimes of this government
… then I would suggest that you allow
the 5th of November to pass unmarked.
and if you would seek as I seek…
… then I ask you to stand beside me,
… outside the gates of Parliament.
And together, we shall give them
… that shall never, ever be forgot.
He's using our smoke machines.
