What’s disgusting? Laughing?
Laughing at the absurdity and utter cruelty of the left?
Laughing at someone invoking his father’s tragic death for political point-scoring?
Laughing at the sheer audacity of using the incredibly sad loss of a loved one to justify policies that could harm millions of pensioners?

I’ll laugh when I want, how I want and at whatever I want, because laughter is infinitely better than hatred, rage or fear.
