It's a job to find any that will stay up in wellies

Doughtfull, the building is owned by the state so not insured in itself.
The contents are owned by the church and are " priceless" so again probably not
The contractors, if found to have caused the fire, will be liable for rebuilding.
Glad I'm not with AXA

I think we should give them as much as they gave us to help rebuild york minster

 

[capfits]

Instead of paying for buildings of religion that state should be paying for the buildings of people.
The response toward the Notre dame looks sickening to my mind when compared to that of Grenfell.

Saw a comment that various religions have £Billions in assets and funds .. surely they can afford this task themselves ?

Surely they were insured ?

How many times do we have to write it - the building is not owned by the church - it was taken from them during a previous French Revolution. The cathedral, and most others, are owned by the French Government - by the people - and they have been taking all the revenue from visitors etc. Why should the church pay the repair costs for something that was stolen from them?

the premiums would be high on re-build cost

I thought everyone had to be insured ? Liabilities insurance is a must for any company.

Because the people had to fund Religion for 100s of years and are still afforded special privilages ?

If ordinary people can give donations what is stopping one of the Richest organisations in the world from donating ?

Do they not like their own religion and iconic symbols ?

I don't know
was York minster or Winsor castle insured ?

The Royal family can't get insurance as they're unemployed. Bunch of layabouts

You have to remember, anything to do with insurance anywhere in the world always ends up in London.

Not so. They insure themselves because they are rich enough to not need to. Royal Mail don't pay insurance on their vehicles either, they simply have their own internal system.
