How very sad and appalling....I know for us our Ed has frequently referred to Stephen Hawkins with great admiration as I am sure have many others. Then to have him ridiculed by such low lifes is so degrading for both Stephen and all who have anything to do with MND and similar conditions.
May the so called entertainers never suffer as so man brave souls do with this AND if they do or one of their loved ones,may they never have to hear such tormenting comments.
Cheer up every one....we know better and are better than these un qualified #####s !
