it's not really. we just say that to get people banned

blue peter is a very long running kids show that in the 80s had a person with spastic cerebral palsy feature heavily (no idea where you got epilepsy from). he had pretty severe speech impediments and from that moment "spastic" was embedded in schoolyards nationwide as a sick burn

If there's anything the brits are good at, it's coming up with derogatory slang for everything. They even came up with "gammon" for white supremacists because their angry faces are all flushed like a raw ham.

Yeah, we really frown on hating the disabled unless you're a Tory MP.

It's odd how hating the disabled is taboo in England when british people will eagerly hate every other demographic. Did this become taboo because an inbred royal had a disability or something?
