You might like to know that by searching on keywords, or browsing the British Economy Survey section, teachers and students have access to the full text articles from the past 6 years of BES on our web site
 
www.statsed.co.uk
 
I am a little biased but there are some excellent articles there to support teachers' preparation and student coursework.
 
Try, for example searching on "Euro" or "Unemployment".
 
Best of luck
