Is this aimed at #WagnerPMC ?

It sounds like it's about U.S. American mercenaries, but uses a communist #RedWedge symbol. But some U.S. Americans don't seem to have realised the #ColdWar ended?

#glastonbury festival used to have all kinds of political speech as part of its purpose and as part of the line up. Yes it was an interruption to the music to hear Bruce Kent get up and talk about #CND, or #BillyBragg talk about #RedWedge but the festival had an alternative crowd and it was well received. They talked about the miners, and steel workers and the apartheid which was still happening in South Africa. The #BBC should have shown everything that happened on stage yesterday.

Red Wedge: bringing Labour party politics to young music fans

In the runup to the election, Rock’s Backpages turns to the March 1996 edition of Q magazine to resurrect an oral history of Red Wedge, the political initiative set up by the likes of Billy Bragg, Paul Weller and Tom Robinson 30 years ago

The Guardian

On this day 39 years ago, Labour leader Neil Kinnock had his arm round Strawberry Switchblade's Jill Bryson at the launch of Red Wedge, a campaign to discourage youth apathy in parliamentary politics.

21 November 1985, House of Commons, London.

#PaulWeller im Interview:
Gernandt: „2006 wollte Queen Elizabeth Sie in den Ritterstand erheben. Warum haben Sie abgelehnt?“
Weller: „Weil es mir absolut nichts bedeutet. Ich stamme aus der Working Class und fühle mich von der königlichen Familie nicht gut repräsentiert. Prinzen und Ritter gehören ins Märchenbuch.“ #RedWedge #KonzertKalender #HuxleysNeueWelt
