Brigadier John Dennis Profumo, 5th Baron Profumo CBE (30th January 1915 - 9th March 2006), informally known as Jack Profumo, was a British politician. His title, which he did not use, was Sardinian. Although Profumo held an increasingly responsible series of political posts in the 1950s, he is best known today for his involvement in a 1963 scandal involving a prostitute. The scandal, now known as the Profumo Affair, led to Profumo's resignation and withdrawal from politics, and it may have helped to topple the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan. After his resignation, Profumo began to work as a volunteer cleaning toilets at Toynbee Hall, a charity based in the East End of London, and continued to work there for the rest of his life. Eventually, Profumo volunteered as the charity's chief fundraiser. These charitable activities helped to restore the fallen politician's reputation; he was awarded a CBE in 1975, and in 1995 was invited to Margaret Thatcher's 70th birthday dinner. He was a member of Boodle's club in St James's, London from 1969 until his death. PUBLIC DOMAIN News item.
Profumo enters & talks to Agent. Then speaks: Attacking Labour Governments Record. Talks about cost of living going up. Says that strong left wing forces in the Labour party are taking over. This will lead to Communism. Sets out Conservative Policy.
