As someone who lives minutes from where Sarah Everard disappeared, I've now abandoned my daily evening walk, a vital part of my lockdown routine. It's saddening that, as a female in 2021, it remains necessary to forgo something so fundamental because of a threat we can't control.

@deepgreendude @MerseyMounty They're only on an empty beach because everyone else has followed the rules in order to save the lives of swathes of the population. It's not fun taking orders and being cooped up inside, but it's the unselfish thing to do - one that saves lives.

I have to admit, it surprised me. However, after sitting & listening to her reasoning on permanent issues for over an hour, it absolutely made sense. It also made me aware of the issues that aren't being spoken about and how easy it is to enhance a villainous image.

@mrjamesob I grew up living next door to her. She used to sleep in a full face of make-up for fear of dying during the night and being found in an 'indecent' state. As it turned out, she reaped the benefits of her cautious ways as she ultimately died in her sleep.
