Submitted by David on Tue, 20/04/2010 - 10:45
Hot off his recent victory at the first televised political debate, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has called for the Digital Economy Bill to be repealed. He responded to a question on the way the bill was rushed through, during an interview with online student service The Student Room.

Submitted by David on Thu, 25/03/2010 - 07:30
