RT @PeterG4NES2019: OK.
Might be an unpopular tweet.
While I'm relieved Macron has won, he's very far from ideal.
It's time to change the system Macron represents. Eternal GDP growth is a crime.
Continued fossil fuel exploration is a crime.
Climate action delay is a crime.
Not...

@GoodwinMJ Why do you think this is a problem? It's a problem that there are other people who are not well educated, and haven't realised how wrong they are about everything yet. That's true.

The quote as a whole is, let us say, apposite. More apposite than Oliver Dowden can have intended presumably.
RT @exitthelemming: Oh Oliver. Know your #Shakespeare, especially on his birthday.

The speech continues: “this England… is now leased out …bound in with shame,
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:

@jbond Ah yes that beautiful lockdown spring in 2020 when we all went out for walks. It was lovely, but we do need rain (preferably at night).

@twose_brian Yes some are pushing bogus solutions that are both unfit for the task and designed to capture a market of people who can't envisage how much better it would be to fix the problem than go on creating it and sticking plasters over the woulbds.
