    New @britishlibrary wifi is cranky & erratic. Has just blocked me from reading Tennyson on Project Gutenberg. Possibly on grounds of taste.

        The UK National Archives wifi network blocks Wikipedia as "malicious". I was looking up Keynes. Wifi must be run by George Osborne.

        What *would* Tennyson say about Project Gutenberg if @britishlibrary was not hiding it? Enq. minds want to know. @alexvtunzelmann

        @JDKightly I don't know, but I suspect it would be highly-strung, sentimental and expressed with slightly unconvincing scansion.
