shouldn't it mean "David Cameron OR the economy" ?

i mean, if i look to the 2011 statistics i can see only records of negativity in england. only scotland has because of the oil a good stand.

compare the stats with the france or germany and tell me then:

who of both sides of the channel has a REAL problem?

I think it was wrong for the university to allow these 2 clowns who have done more to damage education in less than a year than any other government. It was sickening to see the vc being sycophantic in his intro.

One of your ideas of sorting the debt Mr Cameron is by punishing students? Students who can just about afford education and a life.

Here's a quote from Dave's crony, the visionary George Osborne from 2006,

The new global economy poses real long-term challenges to Britain, but also real opportunities for us to prosper and succeed. In Ireland they understand this. They have freed their markets, developed the skills of their workforce, encouraged enterprise and innovation and created a dynamic economy. They have much to teach us, if only we are willing to learn.

Lets learn from the Irish please!! God help us.

How ironic that Cameron is speaking of 'sustained economic growth'; and right next to him should be a book in plain view for all to see, titled 'Social Marketing'.

Within two words it foretells of the alliance between the Liberals (the social good) and the Conservatives (financial gain).

The blend between be economic betterment and representation of those in need of support. It makes me wonder if it wasn't just a deliberate act by an Open University librarian to get a message across. =)
