Economic History
Widds, as he is commonly known, has always been a manufacturing (in Version 1) employee. Working for various companies in the UK and Australia.
He later went on to become a Co-Director of People's Initiative, the group ownership of companies by members of the People's Communist Party. Its main goals are to provide the citizens of the UK with products at decent costs. He managed Sohir's Health Packs, and as Co-Director of the People's Initiative was a part of the (at the time) largest business cooperative in the UK.
He has since removed himself from directly managing companies, and was a full time Paratrooper in the United Kingdom.
Politics History
When KIA Sneak was elected President, he was made the Minister of Defence in the UK and served 4 terms in that position, he has also served 4 terms in Congress. At one point he was also the Party President of the People's Communist Party. He was a three term Mayor in Norwich, before he was unable to run in the last elections due to being the Party President.
Widdows ran for Presidency in October of 2008 in the UK, where he lost by a narrow 5 vote margin to newcomer Rayf Drayson. After the elections, he continued to serve as the Minister of Defence before resigning midway through his term and moving to the newly freed Australia. Within a month of arriving he was party president of the Australian Independence Movement, he went on to become a two term congressman, a two term Minister for Social Services and he also had one term as the Minister of Defence. After his time in Australia he had a short stint in Canada during the invasion before returning home to the UK.
Later, Widdows has been embroiled in a political controversy that has led to the retraction of his Lordship, he was found guilty of passing information on an attempted PTO off Finland to the Finnish president. Information of Widds' activities was not made public until he challenged Hassan Pesaran, the president of the time, to put up or shut up. The public exposure of Widds' led to a unanimous vote to repeal his Lordship.
Widdows also ran for president after Scipio The Great was unable to run, he came third to GLaDOS and Necrosis after some outrage at him running so soon after being found guilty of spying. He was a proud member of the new Free Democratic Party.
Once he moved to Australia, Widds joined the Australian Military Party.
Perhaps though his most prestigious awards, and the ones he is most proud of, are his 3 BOBLO awards, forget the MBE and the Victoria Cross, his award of Quitter of the Year, Return of the Year and Emigrant of the Year will forever be with him.
