	George Wigg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wigg served in the British Army for almost all his career up to his election as Member of Parliament for Dudley in 1945.
		According to veteran Press Association reporter Chris Moncrieff, Wigg was unpopular with Labour MPs [1] but managed mischievously to use procedure to place the Profumo affair on the record in Parliament and led the pursuit of Profumo which resulted in his resignation.
		Wigg was already known for passing on gossip to Labour leader Harold Wilson, and when Labour won the 1964 election Wilson appointed Wigg as Paymaster-General.

		George Wigg was born in 1900 and began his career in the army serving in the Regular Army, 1919-1937 and again in the Royal Army Education Corps, 1940-1946.
		Wigg was elected as the Labour MP for Dudley in 1945 where he remained as MP until he was created a life peer in 1967.
		Wigg played a prominent role in the breaking of the Profumo scandal in 1961, advising that the Labour Party stress the threat to Britain's security.

	What I learned on Wikipedia today: Wog
		The saying "The wogs begin at Calais" was originated by George Wigg, Labour MP for Dudley, in 1945.
		Winston Churchill] thinks that the 'wogs' begin at Calais." Wigg's coinage, sometimes paraphrased as "Wogs start at the Channel" or "Wogs start at Dover", is commonly used to characterise a stodgy Europhobic viewpoint, and more generally the view that Britain (more commonly England) is inherently separate from (and superior to) the Continent.
		The process by which it has become embraced by the communities it describes is similar to the reclaiming of gay and poof in the homosexual community, a process designed to take the sting out of the pejorative.

	Follow that colonel! Spectator, The - Find Articles
		During the 1970 general election campaign, Wigg buttonholed me in New Palace Yard, waved his arms in the way that he had and shouted that Labour would never win an election as long as Marcia Williams stayed with Wilson (he was right in 1970 but wrong twice in 1974, if only just).
		Pincher described Wigg's as yet unpublished diaries as a time-bomb, but the old Colonel was a walking canister of Semtex while he was alive: he was the man who knew too much.
		Wilson and Wigg knew the truth of it because Wilson ordered, probably at Wigg's suggestion, the bugging of the London flat where the strike leaders held their secret meetings.

		George Alfred Brown, later George Alfred George-Brown, Baron George-Brown, PC (2 September 1914–2 June 1985) was a British politician who served as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 1960 to 1970, and was a senior Cabinet minister (including as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs) in the Labour government of the 1960s.
		He was a leader of the right wing within the Labour Party and an effective, if aggressive, election campaigner, but was ultimately unable to cope with the pressures of high office without excessive drinking.
		Brown wished to be "Lord George Brown", but Garter King of Arms argued that peerage titles traditionally included only surnames, not forenames.

		On 21 March 1963, Colonel George Wigg, a Labour MP for Dudley, raised the issue in the House of Commons, inviting the member of government in question to affirm or deny the rumors of his improprieties.
		Wigg forced Profumo's hand, not, he claimed, to embarrass the Conservative government but because the Ivanov connection was a matter of national security.
		Although his strongest opponent, George H. Bush [12 Jun 1924~], won an upset victory in the Iowa caucuses, Reagan bounced back after a memorable performance in a debate with other Republican candidates in Nashua, New Hampshire.

		The preceding notwithstanding, Sir Geoffrey Bing, former attorney-general in the Nkrumah government, does not appear to have envisaged socioeconomic relations between the former British colony and England beyond the tired neocolonialist — or self-interested — terms of the proverbial industrialist and raw-material supplier.
		In other words, like his colleagues of the British Labor Party (BLP) — among them, Ernest Bevin, R. Crossman, Fred Lee, George Wigg, J. Mallalieu, Harold Davies and Stephen Swingler — Bing envisaged the development of African democracies and economies along purely agrarian lines.
		Danquah, Nkrumah agree Interestingly enough, both Dr. Danquah and Prime Minister Nkrumah envisaged Ghana’s socioeconomic development along industrial lines.
