Trying to protect the vulnerable in society from carelessness isn’t grappling for righteousness by any metric.
Exactly. And though Sali's visit was probably perfectly safe for all involved, she has promoted the idea that visiting restaurants/pubs is the decent thing to do to help a struggling business. Even if a handful of her many thousands of followers copy her surely she can see that this was ill judged?Trying to protect the vulnerable in society from carelessness isn’t grappling for righteousness by any metric.
I don't like the way she keeps throwing the word 'mental' around. That and 'having a nervo', which was often dropped into conversation by posters on SHB.Calling someone 'mental and tragic' for being worried by her actions isn't helping.
I had a close family member attempt suicide a couple of years ago. Fortunately their attempt was unsuccessful and they got the help they needed afterwards and are in a much better place now, but hearing people drop words like 'mental' and 'nervo' into conversation like it's nothing both upsets and angers me.Also agree with the above - her use of mental and nervo are really not on. I have lost close family due to the reality of these things and it hurts seeing her use them so flippantly.
I'm sorry, me too. It has a massive impact and is just so upsetting for everyone involved. If that lot must use such words they could at least have the decency to keep it between themselves.I had a close family member attempt suicide a couple of years ago.
Agreed. It's so old-fashioned, like calling someone 'gay', or your rascist nana talking about 'Them [insert derogatory name for any race]'.I had a close family member attempt suicide a couple of years ago. Fortunately their attempt was unsuccessful and they got the help they needed afterwards and are in a much better place now, but hearing people drop words like 'mental' and 'nervo' into conversation like it's nothing both upsets and angers me.
You hit the nail on the head. I'd put money on her thought process being along the lines of 'I can help these poor people by buying four burgers from them, which will at least pay for one member of staff on the minimum wage, and if I post it, maybe my followers will follow my shining example and also go out and help, and all that help will be due to me, SH, being so amazing, again.'In the grand scheme of things your meal for 4 will not make a difference to that pub, but your promotion of not follwing government advice might just encourage others to do similar and put more people at risk.
Yes her defence seemed to be well the children are at school so they can't self isolate as a family anyway so they may as well go out for a meal. But if the school closes they will self isolate.Warning Sali, I'm going to talk about your children.
Your children, while still at school, may well be carrying the virus unknowingly and passing it on to you, or anyone you or they come into contact with. I hope they are not, I hope that neither they not anyone you know or love catches it but for duck sake, it's time for YOU to own your behaviour.
Supporting a small business could be putting lives at risk. In the grand scheme of things your meal for 4 will not make a difference to that pub, but your promotion of not follwing government advice might just encourage others to do similar and put more people at risk.
The government advice isn't for you to pick and choose how you follow it. You follow it if you can. If you don't then you, you as an individual, Sali Hughes, are putting people's lives at risk.
I jumped and grabbed my bottle, but it doesn't say the percentage, maybe on the box? I have the mandarin and cardamon scent, it's lovely for summer, but I have no idea if it's just a weak dilute of alcohol. Better to be safe than use any weak dilutes.In other news I have read 4711 Cologne is 80% alcohol so can be used a hand sanitiser if necessary (I think - let me know if anyone believes otherwise).
Lol, weak dilute. The gift that keeps on giving.I jumped and grabbed my bottle, but it doesn't say the percentage, maybe on the box? I have the mandarin and cardamon scent, it's lovely for summer, but I have no idea if it's just a weak dilute of alcohol. Better to be safe than use any weak dilutes.
Yes! (I’ve thought this for donkeys)How is that even the same person, I know we all had the eye surgery debate many threads ago but her eyes are like that of a completely different person now. I call bullshit on the no surgery when you see these pictures. If not surgery then some sort of treatment, hooded eyes don't just disappear.
