The 'mental and tragic' comment was awful - especially to someone reasonably pointing out that what she was doing was encouraging irresponsible and possibly dangerous behaviour.I can’t believe she’s openly being nasty on the internet. I mean, I have no problem with her voicing her reasonable opinion that the article is ‘astonishingly stupid and mad’. I thought that SH was better than that though.
And if she’s shouting about this in the interest of public health, by her own statement last week she’s ‘spending her life grappling for literally anything to feel righteous. It’s truly mental and tragic.’
That’s what she said about some poor citizen who was outraged at her promoting going out for dinner in a group 2 nights running after the country was begged to stay indoors.
I still can't quite get my head round her defense of it either - the restaurant posted on SM they were empty, so Sali's group went there. So say they were halfway through the meal and more groups turned up? You would have to be 100% sure this wouldn't happen to take such a risk. And how could you be? It was pure luck and not judgement that they only met 'one other person'. Her defence was absolutely nonsensical.
Plus anyone following her lead and going out to support local businesses might not be quite so lucky.
