House insurance...

[mrph]

Gosh, I feel really safe now. With effect from February 1st, the following Policy Exception applies...

We will not pay for:

1. Loss or destruction of, or damage to, any property whatsoever, or any loss and expenses whatsoever resulting or arising therefrom, or any consequential loss;
2. Any legal liability of whatsoever nature;
3. Death or injury to any person,

directly or indirectly caused by, or contributed to, by, or arising from Biological or Chemical contamination due to or arising from:

• Terrorism; and/or
• Steps taken to prevent, suppress, control or reduce the consequences of any actual attempted, threatened, suspected or perceived terrorism.

For the purposes of this exclusion "terrorism" means any act(s) of any person(s) or organisation(s) involving:

• The causing, occasioning or threatening of harm of whatever nature and by whatever means;
• Putting the public or any section of the public in fear,

in circumstances in which it is reasonable to conclude that the purpose(s) of the person(s) or organisation(s) concerned are wholly or partly of a political, religious, ideological or similar nature.

Lovely.

Hmmm... someone accidentally driving a lorry into your house (then driving away before anyone gets their number) certainly *used* to be covered by house insurance; it happened to a friend of mine.

But apparently that's terrorism now, not incompetent handling of sharp bends...?

"My ideology maintains that getting caught for this sort of thing is a bad idea, so I'm buggering off".

Yep, sounds like terrorism by their definition...
