The Notre Dame fire is sad, but please save the tears for a real tragedy

Watching flames froth up from the roof of Notre Dame I felt a sense of sadness that 800 years of history was ­vanishing before us.

MirrorAlison I just knew somebody from the mirror would whine about the notre dame donations. SO BLOODY PREDICTABLE.

MirrorAlison Well said

MirrorAlison Oh, the refreshing resurgence of this vacuously minded pissing contest...

NickyAACampbell MirrorAlison Couldn’t believe seeing people crying over a building.Thousands still being killed in Syria and Yemen and where’s the hundreds of millions raised for them?

MirrorAlison When grenfell burned it was tragic, but the residents got money,help Free concerts & housing, people took the piss, Someone got arrested for having a cardboard cut out. Now it's boring Watching Notre dame burn was a national tragedy after all that has happened to Paris & France

MirrorAlison Chancel Repair liability. I wonder if the Parisians pay it?

MirrorAlison Absolutely correct, the romancatholic church have more than enough money to rebuild NotreDame without any help & maybe they could also help the millions of Catholic followers who live in poverty

MirrorAlison Comparing Apples with Pears- no one upset over Notre Dame denies support for Grenfell. The Mirror draws false equivalence. One a human travesty and the other a high profile mistake.

MirrorAlison Churches and cathedrals have a strange habit of bursting into flames in France recently.

MirrorAlison

MirrorAlison well said, but its probably because JunckerEU can't do his Quasimodo impression when he's pissed again

MirrorAlison Hundreds of millions raised already. End of the day it’s a building. Build something for the homeless with it instead.

MirrorAlison

MirrorAlison Just f off your socialist red top bog roll news paper

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Twin towers.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Thank God I was beginning to think that it was just me being heartless. All this outpouring of grief for a bloody building

MirrorAlison Was it not insured? 35000 visitors a week, is it free to get in, don’t think so, so what happens to all that cash? What’s happened to the catholic church’s wad of cash? Why are they asking for donations it’s a disgrace. If my house burnt down and I wasn’t insured who would pay.

MirrorAlison How about you don't tell people how to feel?

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Hard to see any losers from the fire. Nobody hurt, pompeurs are heroes, Macron is the leader, the fund is booming, France has a sense of purpose. Sure, the church is damaged, but was falling to bits and will now be gloriously renewed. Such national renaissance usually takes a war

MirrorAlison In a world where people cry at the drop of a hat over things like Britain's Got Talent and Coronation Street, then I think your bashing your head against a brick wall writing stuff like this.

MirrorAlison I tried to feel sad but... no lives lost. Vanity 🍎

MirrorAlison There is absolutely no comparison between the the Notre Dame and the Grenfell Tower. One had significant historic and architectural importance the other was just another tower block like hundreds all over the world. Linking the two totally unrelated tragedies is wrong.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison So money is being given from all over the world. It is a disaster but it is a building. It happened here to York Minster. I don’t remember ‘vigils for York’. And please - no money from the government. There are many crumbling schools and hospitals that could use it.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison What , like an ISIS bride losing her citizenship?

MirrorAlison An unfair comparison. The Cathedral reflects an era in which everyone believed in God: utterly. The modern world has cast itself adrift. We watched open mouthed, as our connection to this self assured, yet consoling age was destroyed before our eyes. A different kind of tragedy.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Jeez, the Daily Mirror must be trying to get readers from the illegals who don’t have the Interwebs or something. The Notre Dame Cathedral is a World Heritage site.... and it has no bearing on Grenfell.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison TIL humans have only a limited supply of tears they can use in their lifetime and those tears must only be shed according to the values of a socialist SJW rag.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison When is the Catholic Church Cartel going to put their hands in their pockets? Asking for a friend!😜

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Can’t you view anything in absolute terms? Why does everything have to be made relative to something else?

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison What is there some real tragedy heading our way ? you know something we dont ? . im all dried out crying over brexit . drier than a nuns chuff

MirrorAlison Load of nonsense

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Nope, Notre Dame way sadder than Grenfell.

NickyAACampbell MirrorAlison Clickbait is insufferable, and MirrorAlison can go f**k herself, is what I say. 🤷‍♀️

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison And now Macron is a hero... this stinks. All artefacts safe and (thankfully ) no fatalities. Macron couldn’t justify spending the French hard earned cash on the restoration, how convenient this fire is ...

MirrorAlison Why can't you cry for both?

MirrorAlison It's possible to have feelings about more than one thing - at the same time! ForgetAboutThatThingWhatAboutMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Or don’t. People can and go. We are legion; and we are a stain on the planet. Achievements like Notre Dame are some of our few high points, a marker to the good we can do.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison I'm sure the catholic church which is sitting on a wad of dosh will be dipping its grubby mitts into the cost of restoration....we wait on statement.

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison church can afford it fuck em they pay more to priests who have molestered kids

JuliaHB1 MirrorAlison Quite right!

MirrorAlison You’re not french Alison so you wouldn’t know

MirrorAlison Fucking hell, she's all heart her isn't she,

MirrorAlison Disgraceful.

MirrorAlison Couldn't agree more

MirrorAlison Here here

MirrorAlison dint make me sad, sod the french.

'Our lady of tears': How the world reacted to the Notre-Dame fireThe world reacted with shock, horror and prayers as a massive fire ripped through the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday. Jesus the Christ speaks through Anette Myriel. Notre Dame was a place of sin. Do you really think I could not have protected that otherwise. No church or cathedral in this world was built to honor me. They were built by to hide their ritual places and in the parallel world. Thank you all for your warm support and love. No more tears this morning for Parisians as Notre-Dame de Paris is still standing. Time to go ahead, and re-build it nicer, higher, admirable for ever
