Attempts to resolve the Quandary:
On the Government's imposition of yet more cuts, and despite ructions in Parliament, there quickly occurred a savage rapine of all the British Library's chapbooks and other literary ephemera, skip loads being dumped off the promontory of Beachy Head, ostensibly in the hope of cushioning the fall of distressed scholars.
