Debate!

To prepare for our debate on private vs public (in the non-British sense of the word) schools next week, I highly recommend you listen to a debate held by Intelligence Squared: Public schools are a blight on British society. From a bunch of British debaters, you can expect a lot of insightful wit, of course – occasionally, people also burst into song. It’s also a fantastic example of this kind of debate.
You have to download the mp3 from iTunes, but it’s all free. If you are pressed for time and/or would like to see who the speakers are, you can also look at a few teaser videos on the IQ2 page.
Another debate held by the same organisation that you might enjoy is: Apart from chavs, the British have no class. Obviously, this is not really a serious topic, so the speeches were hilariously funny.
