Actually, the original (and correct) spelling of "collectivisation" is with the "s", not the "z". The "z" version is an Americanised ...

Coal Can't Fill World's Burning Appetite

Thank f*ck.

Care to guess who really started the whole thing? Who persuaded the British to invade Ireland after "giving" the country to the monarchy as a gift?

The Church?

Bingo. Pope Adrian IV issued a Pap ...
