Terence Dicks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the screenwriter, see Terrance Dicks.
Terence Patrick Dicks, commonly known as Terry Dicks, (born March 17, 1937) was a British Conservative Party politician, and MP for Hayes and Harlington between 1983 and 1997 after unsuccessfully contesting the seat of Bristol South in 1979.
Dicks's opposition to state funding for the arts inspired Labour MP Tony Banks to claim that Dicks' presence in the House of Commons was "living proof that a pig's bladder on a stick can get elected to Parliament." [1]
On Farzad Bazoft, an Observer journalist hanged by Saddam Hussein in 1990, Dicks said he "deserved to be hanged" on the eve of his execution [2].
