As someone as Colby who as minister of community used his position to abuse a loyal irish citizen and destroy most respected neutrality of MoC that took years to built one can not simply expect to have articles that require even a little efford and originality.
Nope. Didn't take me much time at all. I stole every bit of it. The hard work came where I had to put the stuff I stole in order.
