I see it looks like private business, the EU and France may foot the bill while the Catholic Church sits on vast wealth. Cause the kids living under the poverty line are less needy of the money

That’s the real fucking issue.  Let them pay for their own repairs.  Sell a few paintings.

Imagine if David Bowie had died in that fire. Social media would have collapsed quicker than that spire under the weight of the combined collective grief.

He'd probably have tried to put out the fires.

 

With gasoline.

Very pleased to see it wasn't entirely lost.

 

It might be just a building, but it was quite a beautiful old building. Right up there with St Peter's and St Paul's, for me. 

 

I can't wait to go back and see it, once/as it's rebuilt.

 

Hopefully they can get it done in Macron's five years, though I doubt that very much.

On the flip side imagine if Kirsty Allsopp died in it. Scenes.

It took about 4 years to repair York Minster and that was a much smaller area to repair. I'll be amazed if it is 5 years, you could easily double it I'd say.

Just relieved the Scottish pub just down the road across from Pont Neuf was unaffected.

Can we get back to Kirsty Alsopp burning alive please 

[Mudface]

The bees made it.

You can see the sadness in their hives.
