Its frantic approach made practitioners wince but, through Time Team, Channel 4 made archeology prime time entertainment for over two decades. That fact alone vividly illustrates a widely shared fascination amongst the public for peeling back the layers of the past and peering at the lives of those who came before us.

With absolutely no fanfare, the government released the crashingly dull-sounding Student Loan Repayment for Sustainable Higher Education strategy late last week.

An archaic electoral system and level polling between Labour and the Conservatives suggests a messy outcome in tomorrow's United Kingdom general election. Center-left and center-right pundits are buzzing about the dangers posed by this unprecedented instability.
When Prince Charles first caught sight of Birmingham Central Library during a visit 30 years ago, he's purported to have spluttered: "It looks more like a place for burning books than keeping them." In terms of form the Central Library is hard, blocky and exquisitely realised.

Birmingham City Council has unveiled its proposed budget cuts for 2015-16, including substantial reductions to funding for the Library of Birmingham, the £189 million project that opened in September 2013 and within a year was facing a financial black hole.

"Escape has become a shared desire for many trapped in the neoliberal nightmare. Britain as its character has morphed into that of David Cameron's has become an island from which practically everyone wants to exit."

I was sitting behind my folding table in the polling station - usually a bingo hall - when I saw the elderly couple come into the sport club's lobby, hesitate and walk through the wrong door into the bar. I hurried across to help them. 'Excuse me, are you looking to vote?'
The British government's attempts to track domestic terrorists have come under fire following the apparent targeting of student Pat Grady. The national Prevent programme, which seeks to 'pursue, prevent, protect and prepare' against domestic extremism, uncovered a case of potential radicalization involving the University of Birmingham student, who is in his early twenties.
Letters to parents requesting a meeting to discuss "concerns that have been raised" usually only happen at school to the parents of kids with the foresight to realise that smoking while your lungs are still developing is totally badass.

As a hardened, somewhat bitter and certainly cynical 3rd year, I've been pleased to see YUSU focusing on talking to Health Sciences students, an under-represented group at the University. The campaign against the potential closure of Café Barista, the sole social space in their building, a building also used by many social science students, as well as the University's "night school" classes, seems a natural extension of this.
