Good evening, London. I thought it was time we had a little talk. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine. The security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. But in the spirit of commemoration, I thought we could mark this November the 5th by taking some time to sit down and have a little chat. There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. 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.

Traducao (Portugues)

Boa noite, Londres. Achei que era hora de termos uma conversinha. Estão confortáveis? Então vou começar. Eu, como muitos de vocês, aprecio o conforto da rotina diária. A segurança do familiar, a tranquilidade da repetição. Mas no espírito da comemoração, pensei que poderíamos marcar este 5 de novembro sentando e tendo uma conversa. Há, claro, aqueles que não querem que falemos. Porque enquanto o cassetete pode ser usado no lugar da conversa, as palavras sempre reterão seu poder. Palavras oferecem o caminho para o significado, e para quem ouvir, a enunciação da verdade.
