After the Riots - More In Common
Northern Ireland Social Cohesion 'After the Riots: What Northern Ireland Thinks' is More in Common's first study devoted to public opinion in Northern Ireland. It asks how people responded to last month's riots, what they make of rising racism, and what they want done on immigration. ‘After the Riots: What Northern Ireland Thinks’ is More in Common’s first study devoted to public opinion in Northern Ireland.
Britain's Quiet Majority
When it comes to many housing, energy or infrastructure planning applications, it would seem that Britain is divided in two opposing camps – NIMBY or YIMBY, doomster or booster, anti-growth or pro-growth. And reading any council’s planning portal, scrolling through a local community Facebook group, or rummaging through a Councillor’s or MP’s mailbox - you’d have the impression that planning applications communities apart are up in arms about every proposed development.
Lets Talk About: Procrastination
I am sat at my desk, all the books that I need are by my side, my laptop on full power and a new Microsoft Word tab is opened. My room is clean, my corridor is pindrop silent.

Whatever the variation of the feeling, the root cause is the same lack of sleep . Ask anyone how many hours shut eye they got last night and the number is most certainly less than the eight and a half recommended for young adults. It’s quite alarming for young people to feel this way.
