This was superbly entertaining. It sounds dry, a debate on whether ancient Greece or Rome were 'better', but between them Greece and Rome built the world we all live in, and are still key to understanding it. Despite being a twat in so many ways, Boris is a superb speaker, and knows his classics. Mary does wonderful docos on ancient Rome (all freely available on YouTube), and is a Professor of Classics. You can read modern political debates in everything they reveal here. I think the right team won this one. Give it a try, I promise you'll enjoy it.
