As we creep into September and near the end of 2008 it is all too clear what this year will be remembered for – the end of boom and the onset of bust. Reports of 0% growth and outright recession in 2009 is bleak news for all, particularly students. No doubt we will remember the year the effects of the credit crunch took its toll on our already straining pockets with reports announcing that university students will face the most expensive academic year yet! For someone like me, who just recently found out that the interest charged on student loans, albeit at the rate of inflation is charged from the very day the loan is received, this additional news is a double blow.

Is Gordon Brown's time almost up?

James Everett — Fri, 16 May 2008 12:00:00 +0100

This is something that I couldn't have imagined in June 2007. He had the reputation of being a very astute politician and as Chancellor not many could have argued with his performance. But what has gone wrong from him, why are people calling time on his stint as Prime Minister? For instance every time I see Ed Miliband on t.v. he's being asked if Gordon should be ousted and he should take over!
