I really doubt there is a coordinated "attack" on some pretend cook going on. If anything, she helps the Tories, as she makes out everyone can live off £20 a week. The Tories can't understand why people are whinging based on that!
I think what has happened is more and more people are speaking out, as one comes forward, so does another and it's snowballing.
Bear in mind, she has asked for donations to sue people, she has collected money via
Teemill for merchandise which was to be donated but has declined to say where all the other donations went. She has over 750 (was 800 I believe) people paying a monthly subscription from £3.50 to £44. That is monthly funds straight into her pocket from Patreon. In return she was to offer content depending on your subscription, however, she has not updated in 2 years, but has still collected that money each and every month. For nothing.
She never shares that info on Twitter and when some have asked for a refund, she blocks them. She recently wrote a blog piece talking of having to boil soap to make shower gel,
not been able to wash her hair for 2 years etc. That does not tie on with over 750 people paying her monthly.
I don't think it's a mass mobbing, I just think more and more are realising that others also have had the same questions around donations and transparency.
The potato thing on Twitter was chaos!
Them: Here are my mums roasties
.
Random Tweeter: they look dire
.
Them: how dare you, my mum is disabled and has to peel kilos of potatoes and carry heavy pans around the kitchen to make these. How dare you come for my mum.

Flounced off Twitter leaving people to worry about her. Posted a picture of a home made sausage muffin breakfast on Instagram just fine the next morning!
