lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, Commissioner. You know, Mr Draghi, that I am always impressed by your totally non-compromising support for the euro, doomed though we all now know it to be. It appeals to this certain Englishman – there is a sort of Shakespearian quality, I have to say: Lear-like. It puts me in mind of his great speech: ‘I will do such things, – What they are, yet I know not: but they shall be the Terrors of the earth’. Can I make a plea for my friends and their families in Cyprus? A micro-brewer who had his savings in a bank to start a micro-brewing company – not a rich man at all, but of course it was more than EUR 100 000, because it was his life savings. A retired British army officer whose life savings have now all but disappeared in the great Cypriot bank heist. Of course the big boys got their money out early, didn’t they? It is always the little people who get shafted, isn’t it? I am not totally convinced that you really care about them. Can you give me an assurance that you will do whatever it takes to get these poor people’s money back? We now have a situation which the previous speaker, Mr Eppink, alluded to quite rightly: the FED, the Bank of England, the ECB and the Bank of Japan are all completely bankrupt, and they are holding mountains of junk bonds bought with counterfeit money. Let us all blame the retail banks – but it is the central banks where the cancer starts. Politicians, bankers and lackey bureaucrats should be arraigned at an international financial tribunal in The Hague in the same way as war criminals."@en1
