Calais. Congratulations, you seem to have managed to get two words of that 
quote correct. [The and at]

"During a debate in which the subject of the Burmese came up, the volatile 
George Wigg shouted at the Tory benches, 'The Honourable Gentleman and his 
friends think they are all "wogs". Indeed, the Right Honourable Member for 
Woodford thinks that the "wogs" begin at Calais."

First use of the term in 1945 in the House. As a phrase indicating the 
stupidity of Xenophobia.

Currently a major American use of wog is a Scientologist term for non 
Scientologists.
