lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, a child is left on the steps of a church. The mother cannot afford it. A pensioner jumps from a high place, faced with a winter without winter fuel. This, honourable ladies and gentlemen, Members of this Parliament, is Greece, as created by the EU and the euro. It is not about resources, it is about debt in the wrong currency. The Greek debt is now 177% of GDP. It grows as the Greek economy shrinks so it can never, ever, be paid off. Instead, it grows larger. Edinburgh is described as the Athens of the north because of its classical architecture and its learning. Nicola Sturgeon wants to make this manifest and all too real. An independent Scotland with an SNP deficit of GBP 15 billion is bigger than that of Greece. Scotland would have to adopt the catastrophic euro and the consequent ‘austerity max’ Greece has had to suffer. I weep for the people of Greece, but Sturgeon’s desire to emulate them beggars belief and will beggar Scotland."@en1
