Thalidomide was not a birth control pill. It was designed to treat morning sickness. The German company that developed it faked their test results to show no side effects. The side effects were deformities in foetuses.

Did they fake them? I know the drug showed no side effects in the mammals it was tested on, which only became apparent in humans.

Was being used in Brazil and trials in Africa until last few years to combat Leprosy, it was on a TV news programme. Don’t know if it’s still used or got the approval in Africa but just checked and about 10 years ago in Brazil there were around 100 recent cases.

It is also being used, and has been for some years, in some types of brain tumour treatment.

Sky sports in giddy mode. Reporting the rags have won 2 out of 2 pre season games.

As a club, as a group of supporters and their lackeys in the media. They get proper weird when they win any sort of a game, the damage of being in our shadow for over a decade topped off with equaling their greatest ever achievement with a lot more ease has absolutely destroyed them to the point where any such positive as them winning a throw in or having a shot on goal is seen as some type of major achievement and signs of resurgence. Our raggy sleeper agent we’ve seen the last few days is a perfect example of that mindset.

No, it is you that is wrong. There was an official Spastic Society, I remember tbe collection boxes. It was originally a genuine word. When people started using it in a derogatory manner they dropped the term.
Sadly our society saw fit to put them in their own school ! They weren't mentally incapable but that was the 60's and 70's for you.

Became derogatory when the word was truncated to “Spaz”, we used to call each other that at School in the early 70’s if someone had done or said something stupid.
