ANALYSIS: Alliance takes universities ministry
Friday, May 13th, 2011
As things stood before the election, student representatives could say with a certain degree of confidence that fees would not be increasing in Northern Ireland. The DUP, Sinn Féin and the SDLP gave a series of serious, very public assurances that this rise was not going to transpire.

FEATURES: Winning Friday
Saturday, April 9th, 2011
“Rebecca Black, we don’t hate you because you’re famous. You’re famous because we hate you.” Charlie Sheen said this last week about Rebecca Black, the teeny bopper with the epic fail disguised as a pop track entitled ‘Friday’, which leads us to think about how many ‘celebrities’ have been created off the back of negative feedback?

FEATURES: A kiss with a fist
Friday, April 1st, 2011
Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. entered the UK Album Chart on Sunday at number ten, while Yeah 3X has spent nine weeks in the Top 40 and will probably hang around like a fart under a duvet for a good while. This is a man who has been convicted of assault on Rihanna, a wife-beater you could say. Surely it’s in no way appropriate to buy any of his music?

FEATURES: Today’s news tomorrow’s fish and chip paper?
Friday, April 1st, 2011
It is not hard to imagine a breaking story that takes the world by storm. Every news channel, newspaper and their online contingencies are covering it. Everywhere you look people are talking about the current ‘hot topic’ but then, almost as quickly as it enters our lives it disappears again. Is today’s news becoming tomorrow’s fish and chip paper?

FEATURES: TV Cooks – Just a load of effin’ and cheffin’?
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
Television of the past few years has taken upon itself the need to fill our screens with more and more programming on work. As if the 9-5 grind isn’t enough for us, we see a range of programmes such as the Apprentice, MasterChef, Project Runway were people claw and scramble for the attention and approval of their relevant head-honchos or gurus in the trade. I can’t vouch for the realism of the Apprentice (although if the incomprehensible idiocy and the shameless backstabbing is realistic it explains a lot of what happened to our banking system), and as for Project Runway well I have no idea, people do that for their job? Really?

FEATURES: Maybe to AV
Sunday, March 27th, 2011
The AV debate is one that is far more interesting and complex than the referendum would have you believe. On 5 May when we vote it is to say “Yes” or “No” to switching to the alternative voting system. What this overlooks is the number of people who vote no but would like the voting reform to happen, those who vote yes but really just want anything but first past the post.
