    In fairness, Newsweek is suggesting that. B, is merely leading us to the article and wondering if there is an element of truth to it

    Well, I'd say that without the ongoing story of churches being targeted in France your "huge probaility that it is an accident, with a small chance it was arson" would be the sensible conclusion, but when you add in the knowledge that recently this stuff keeps happeneing, surely your view changes a little? I mean "huge probability" versus "small chance"? Really?

    In that case we either have an extremely different view of probablities or you are furiously displaying your woke credentials.

    Are you Ian Harvey in disguise?

    Well since the Paris Fire Authority have already said they don't believe it is Arson, unless you are assuming they are lying to protect some group, then i would suggest it was an accident is a very high probability

    That seems oddly certain of you. I mean by all means be sceptical, but to dismiss the notion entirely without even acknowledging that the possibility exists suggests that, rather than exercising your intelligence, you're simply following a path dictated to you by your ideology.
    You can't not talk. You're like a woman. You don't give a fvck about the church; you just want to piss on about your talking points.

    I would think the fact that it was undergoing renovation at the time would certainly add to the likelihood that it was an accident.

    Not sure why anyone would assume it was an act of terrorism and laugh at any alternatives. Leaving it open as a possibility, certainly.

    Amazing. So when we started having this discussion they hadn't said anything, but now they have, you're using that to justify your argument?

    Fúck me. That's mendacious in the extreme.

    Have you considered that one of the workmen may have had an ulterior motive?

    There is a picture of the early stages of the fire on the BBC website, it definitely starts in the roof. Which would seem to point to an accident.
