Subject: DRAGNET RETURNS!! Dragnet Two Fri. 7th Nov. 8pm @ The Sugar Club

Hey Noisy People!

DRAGNET is returning to the Sugar Club on Leeson Street this Friday 7th November with a new exposition of the GLORIOUS ART of CABARET! See our up-coming event page for photos from the previous Dragnet and a snazzy trailor for this Dragnet!

All your favourites from Dragnet One will be back - Miss Bunny, Sid Viscous, Julian Mandrews and more; plus a host of Dragnet newbies such as Bertha Defect and Juicy Dangler will be taking to the stage for your entertainment - and for a good cause.

The world seems about to end. The markets are convulsing, the banks are tumbling, the entire island is about to become some sort of black hole off the coast of Europe.

Never fear though, we’ve got a brilliant political establishment to shepherd us through the economic wilderness, and in the Budget on Tuesday 14th they revealed their master-plan, carefully crafted, as Mary Hanafin said, to ‘protect the vulnerable’. Unfortunately, it seems like they’ve got a different understanding of who exactly ‘the vulnerable’ in Irish society are.

The pensioners and the students have shown the way. Now teachers and parents are set to take on the government in response to education cuts announced in the Budget. The two Brians should get ready for another climbdown.

On Wednesday 22 October, something over 10,000 students marched in the centre of Dublin to protest the proposed introduction of fees. The student members and supporters of the WSM were in attendance and distributed thousands of leaflets which discussed the origins of the attack and argued that students will need to build a mass movement across the education sector to defend and improve equality of access to education.
