Terry Dicks was really a vile man.  He was elected by the less discerning electors of Hayes. Thank God he never represented a Bristol constituency.

You might be being a little harsh there.

From WIKI.

In 1990, when Nelson Mandela declined to meet the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on a trip to London, a greatly offended Dicks asked, rhetorically, "How much longer will the Prime Minister allow herself to be kicked in the face by this black terrorist?"

As an MP and a member of the Conservative Family Campaign, Dicks left a legacy as a critic of high-profile HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns at the time of the emergence of the disease in the 1980s. Frequent controversial jokes furthering these opinions and others – such as suggesting "tell 'em that if you shove your willy up someone's bum you're going to catch more than a cold" as a central message of the government's HIV/AIDS campaign (instead of encouraging gay men to use condoms).

Ridiculing a Somali refugee family buying water in a London supermarket, saying "where they come from they're happy to drink out of puddles"
