Union Staff Network Xmas drinks
You are invited to get tipsy and shoot shit from the hip with a bunch of loud mouthed, stroppy union staff. It’s been a great year and now it’s time to skite about our victories and moan casually about what we should be doing next year. (Drinking in bars has always been an important part of the bureaucracy and revolution.)

FRIDAY 13th
Bernadette
A fearless, fiercely articulate Irish Republican firebrand in a miniskirt, Bernadette Devlin became Britain’s youngest elected female MP at 21 in 1969. Her maiden speech was a stinging attack on the British in Ireland; and when Home Secretary Reginald Maudling claimed that the British army had fired in self-defence on Bloody Sunday she strode across the House of Commons and punched him. Veteran Irish producer Lelia Doolan, a significant mover and shaker herself, has worked for ten years to produce a rousing and thorough picture of this woman who was once recognisable throughout the Western world as the embodiment of politicised youth in revolt.
