	Red Wedge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red Wedge was a collective of British popular musicians who attempted to engage young people with politics in general, and the policies of the Labour Party in particular during the period leading up to the 1987 general election, in the hope of ousting the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher.

		When the general election was called in 1987, Red Wedge orgainised a comedy tour featuring Lenny Henry, Ben Elton, Craig Charles and Harry Enfield, and another tour by the main musical participants along with The The, Captain Sensible and the Blow Monkeys.

		On January 10, carabinieri raided a Red Brigades' hideout in Rome and found, in addition to an impressive array of small arms and ammunition, surface to air missiles, rocket propelled grenades, and bazookas.
