Notre Damme catherdral is burning down, really sad for France as that is a major landmark and one I never go to see.

The building is f***ked

There's nothing they can do. The roof is gone, the spire is gone, the inside will be gutted, all the windows will be gone

Its very sad.

They would be better off simply building a new cathedral to a new design

I was at Sagrada Familia last week and was thinking about the high risk that these buildings face

They are so loved by so many people but they are vulnerable

I hope this will serve as a wake up call to managers looking after other historic buildings.

Saying it might be linked to renovation work

Its very sad and frustrating

However by all accounts it was in a terrible state so the restoration was essential otherwise the place would have been a wreck anyway

A lot of French history has been destroyed in there. It survived Robespierre, Napoleon and Hitler yet has been brought down by potentially some careless builder. A black day for all humanity.

Wait. Hold up. What's this thing about the UK blocking porn sites starting on July 15th without some identity verification?

Bunch of prude twats in your government loooooooool

Feel sorry for all the grandpas and grandmoms who don't know about VPNs.

What's next: the UK requiring surveillance cameras to be installed in all bedrooms to make sure people are only doing vanilla missionary?
