I'
I'm sorry but this is utter balls. Can we stop with the huge unfounded leaps in conclusions about this poor lady's character. The lockdown rules are completely unrelated and do not in any way point to her being a risk taker, or more likely to be leading a 'shady' lifestyle. Please stop victim blaming!
I am a single female who lives alone, and I am currently studying from home so it gets lonely. During lockdown I have on occasion bent the rules a little and seen friends- for the sake of my own sanity. Does this mean I lead a risky lifestyle or am hiding any number of other questionable secrets?? Does this make me more likely to 'break the law' in other capacities, or be a victim of unspeakable crime because I am such a rebellious and secretive being?? Certainly not!!
Also, if I had a partner I certainly would not have spent the last year not seeing them in person just because they didn't live at the same address. I am an otherwise law abiding and conscientious person. I have been in relative isolation for much of the last few months (as have many, I appreciate) and me choosing to visit a couple of friends on the very, very rare occasion has not meant I have been flouting lockdown rules left, right and centre. Far, far from it, in fact.
IMO it isn't reasonable to expect humans to be physically separated from their partner for that amount of time, not to mention that with bubbles etc. it may be perfectly legal anyway. But even if that's not the case, it's none of our business and not our place to judge someone based on this. And certainly not to insinuate it has any implication whatsoever on what happened to Sarah on that night.
given progress in the case why is this even a discussion at this stage ?
