this would be not great if the British Library wasn’t notorious for demanding ridiculous levels of ID evidence from its readers for registration. as it is, however, it is truly truly atrocious.

@silverwizard @Sjoerd Levelt Doesn’t this joke work better with the British Museum?

@silverwizard @hypolite In fairness, the British Library Reading Room used to be in the British Museum.

And they are both national British institutions. But I am pretty sure that the Library has acquired its collections with appropriate consideration, and nothing there is stolen, AFAIK.

However, I still get your point.
