I really strongly feel that no-one should be viewed negatively because they question our finances. In fact, I think this question has been raised is very important. We more than most know the cost of not questioning etc. We need to be entirely sure.
I don't think it has got excessive yet; the...
Hi all,
Back from Uni after exams and I missed the European Team Championships Athletics which for some irrational reason I absolutely love. Didn't tape it or anything and its now off of Iplayer ... does anyone know where I might be able to find it?
Cheers
Seriously, the yes campaign badly need you... way of explaining it in common sense and understandable terms rather than the political crap they come up with!
This is exactly why we need it! We have this idea that all these political parties influence whereas in reality in almost every...
You're right, I don't like the tories... but I am not avid labour or lib dem in any way. The party who seem not to want to give us what is rightfully our choice, however, are the tories.
My main problem with them (someone will say that every party does this - i know, but im criticising the...
I have had time to read all the posts so apologies if these points have already been made.
But this is an urge to vote yes.
It's not about fairer votes, in my opinion - although I think it is fairer. If you're apprehensive, sit easy in the knowledge that actually according to many polls and...
I'm sure Gus Poyet will welcome your advice and expertise on the football industry, it's not like he's been in it his whole working life.
Pretty patronising of you I must say... and quite wrong, its clear Gus enjoys a challenge and takes risks.
By the same token, the euro zone problem is not a useful example either: the peripheral countries are structurally very different from the other eurozone countries and 'locked in' to the euro at the wrong rate ... UK still floats against all other currencies.
Yes, dealing with the deficit is...
Completely agree about debt - not sure what point I made that you're responding to (?). But I don't think the savings ratio will fall until confidence in the economy and economic growth are restores - something the government aren't doing in my opinion. A lot of people still fear job loss.
On a...
Completely disagree (see my above post)
I understand some of the arguments such as real value of debt rises, business investment might fall (personally Im sceptical) and our currency might appreciate.
BUT, its only the real value of old debt that might increase. Moreover, I think the rise in...
In response to libra-gully it's actually more likely that the way inflation is measured (with respect to this basket of goods you talk about) overestimated infaltion i nthis respect. (in other respects, unrelated to baskets of goods, it underestimates).
I disagree with sten-super, the...
I wouldn't say this is a 'good' result at all. Although, granted, it's better than the rate rising higher.
This isn't the coalition government getting something right, but perhaps the Bank of England rightly (hopefully) forecasting the inflation rate will fall - a view I don't share.
The...
It's complicated, but basically the amount I get next year is much much less than this year (a year I could have afforded it) because household income had changed (they don't take this years tax year but a different one) but I didn't know by how much and how much maintenance loan would change in...
No I'm not doing spelling - get over it. I haven't claimed any elite status just because I go to Oxford so don't try to pretend I have.
Seagulls4ever is right. There's a common portrayal of students having money to burn and going out every night etc, at some places its true but mostly it's on...
Firstly, yes I am doing Economics - Economics and Management.
And secondly you've completely missed the point.
a) The brighton and hove area is moved to by many who end up with jobs in london (students are frequently everntually these people)
b) Many students from around sussex go to uni at...
Yeah, maybe less of mistake in terms of money but I think (for many many reasons) it's sill decision... including the reason that a uni is located very near to the stadium and brighton has a huge student population.
In other news, in case anyone cares, If I can get a job this summer i'm going...
I do go to Oxford, terms are 9 weeks on average and so I figured they'd be 4/5 home games a term and hopefully I'd come back for three of them.Obviously, if I decide to cancel it, I'll pay back my Grandad!
But let me correct you on two points...
1) student loan isn't this big sum of money we...
