Mary Beard answers 'which Roman Emperor is Donald Trump most like?' The Today Podcast BBC

[UTUSN]

14. Totally, in her scholarship & clarity in teaching. When she was paired in a debate with Boris JOHNSON,

she delivered a living example of how to deal with clowns like him and Drumpf, not buying into the baiting, just letting him do his clown thing as she sat by and then not participating at his level.

Here's a hilarious blast from the first blush of enhanced airport security. One of her playful colleagues posted a picture of a scruffy piece of Roman undies asking her whether she was missing something.

Mary Beard left in 'scrappy undies' at Heathrow security
TV presenter says underwear was on show after airport staff asked her to remove tunic

Heathrow has apologised to the classicist Mary Beard after she was asked to remove clothing at airport security, leaving her in just her “scrappy undies”.

The TV presenter said that fellow passengers were able to see her in just “my little black vest (and) no bra” after she was told to take off her tunic.

I know rules are rules (and we all depend on airport security) but was a bit surpised to be told to take off what I think is a 'tunic' (they thought was a 'jacket') at Heathrow security this morning, down to my scrappy undies. Much to curiosity/embarrassment of other passengers! ....
