Made in Chelsea- who are the real victims?
Hot off its BAFTA award, Made in Chelsea or ‘MIC’ as its fans have named the high-profile Channel 4 show, have undeniably made a huge name for themselves. A far cry from the ‘staged’ reviews of its early pilot, it now has a huge following. You can be sure that every Monday evening, Twitter will be ablaze with the trials and tribulations of the privileged class of the Chelsea heirs and heiresses. As opposed to its counterparts Geordie Shore, The Only Way is Essex and The Valleys who are arguably not as addictive as they once were, MIC has…

Yet, despite the final resolve on what has been a nine-month search, the representation and exploitation of the case put to shame the tragedy of the situation. It is to be said, first…
Interview with the President of the National Union of Students Liam Burns
Thanks for coming to Kent, Liam. First off, what do you think is the greatest challenge is to a student in terms of finances? It was really great to come and speak at Kent today. The presentation I gave was all about student financial support and I think the biggest challenge in the sector over the next 10 years is how much money students have in their pockets. The debate for the movement is a really difficult one. We should rightly campaign to get more money from government. What you spend on someone’s loans and grants is a…
The Enactus Nationals
In the time leading up to the Enactus Nationals, I looked forward to it with a strange sense of apprehension. I had seen countless clips of the previous Nationals on YouTube and the only word that can describe these videos is: epic. The clips feature high-fives and hugs, tears and turbulence – but something was not quite right. Before I go any further, you’re probably wondering what the Nationals are, and more to the point; what is Enactus? Well, the aim of Enactus is to transform the lives of disadvantaged people all around the world, using entrepreneurial action that…
