V Hijacks the Emergency Broadcast, Explained：truth be told
V seizes the emergency channel and addresses all of London, warning that the government is watching and that words still have power. "...there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?" he asks, and then tells his audience who is really to blame.
あらすじ
V commandeers the emergency broadcast channel and speaks to all of London. He begins with everyday comforts, then turns to accusation: this country is badly wrong, words retain their power, and if you want the guilty, look in a mirror. Meanwhile police storm the building, ordering cameras and exits covered, until someone calls 'Hold your fire.'

What's really going on
The scene is a speech turned weapon. V takes a channel that was built to control people and uses it to remind them what they lost: 'words will always retain their power,' and, for those willing to listen, 'the enunciation of truth.' The most dangerous part is who he names as guilty — not the state, but the public: 'if you're looking for the guilty... you need only look into a mirror.' He frames their fear as the real surrender — 'Fear got the best of you' — and the consent behind Sutler's order as 'silent, obedient.' Around the speech, the machinery of the state finally arrives: men with cameras, exits sealed, and the order to hold fire, because in the crowd everyone is now wearing the same mask.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why does V take over the emergency channel?
To reach everyone at once. The channel is meant for state control, so using it to deliver his speech turns the government's own tool against it.
Who does V say is to blame?
Not only the government — he tells the audience that if they're looking for the guilty, they need only look into a mirror, meaning the public shares responsibility for what it accepted.
What is 'hold your fire'?
An order to stop shooting. When the police close in, someone shouts it — because the crowd has been masked, and they can no longer tell V from everyone else.
How does V escape?
He uses the building's own smoke machines and kerosene fog to hide, and puts a Guy Fawkes mask on everyone, so the police can't pick him out of the crowd.
What does the crowd do when the police arrive?
They're wearing masks too, so when officers order masked people to their knees, the whole crowd is implicated — which is what makes V impossible to separate from it.
