ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF BILL HICKS

Early day motion 678, tabled 25 February 2004 by Steve Pound (Labour). Signed by 8 members.

That this House notes with sadness the 10th anniversary of the death of Bill Hicks, on 26th February 1994, at the age of 33; recalls his assertion that his words would be a bullet in the heart of consumerism, capitalism and the American Dream; and mourns the passing of one of the few people who may be mentioned as being worth of inclusion with Lenny Bruce in any list of unflinching and painfully honest political philosophers.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Liberal Democrat 2, Labour/Co-operative 1.
