The medieval myth of Notre Dame
On April 15, 2019, a fire began during restoration work of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the Roman Catholic cathedral first consecrated in the late 12th century, destroying large portions of the roof and a central spire. Notre Dame sits at the heart of France. The cathedral has hosted the coronation of an emperor, heard the funeral masses of presidents and prime ministers, and has survived centuries of political upheaval and war.

However Jennifer Arcuri was asked the question today about the Boris Johnson pole dancing rumours. Jennifer Arcuri had a dancing pole in her flat in London and Boris Johnson, whilst Mayor of London, visited the flat several times.
That Boris Johnson was actually paying for pole dancing lessons isn’t confirmed and as far as we know has never been asked.

Within days of the Notre Dame fire in April, a global community had pledged to donate more than €700 million, with other unspecified donations pushing the total even higher.
But as Associated Press reports, there have been months of delays in the pledged millions materializing, leaving officials reliant on small charity donations to fund early repairs.
The Notre Dame Foundation has received just €36 million from 46,000 individuals, 60 businesses and 29 municipalities between April 15 and the end of September, with some donations as small as one euro, AP reported.
