I wonder if FL have tried to threaten legal action? Could explain the heavily moderated comments??

notgettinganyyounger · 23/10/2026 20:59

They'll be doing anything and everything to limit the damage. But we all know the truth. The more shares on social media, the more articles, eventually it will crumble.

I’m hoping this link is readable without the pay wall - it’s a brilliant article, even if it pains me to say that about the Mail! Well done to everyone involved

Making a cuppa then having a read.

"Hats off to this lady for speaking up. There is one lady in the same organisation who boasts about her £30K months, but the reality is that she has her home on AirBNB and carts her daughter off to a caravan most weekends whilst a stranger sleeps in her bed."

Come on, own up to the Rictus quote 🤣🤣
Bloody brilliant! No wonder she was so angry the other night and quaffed a bottle of red!!

I have posted this on the article comments:

The MLM business model is flawed from the start. Any money is only made from RECRUITMENT of a downline who also RECRUIT their downline et al. Rules force participants to BE THE CUSTOMER having to buy £££ every month in order to qualify for benefits. "Pay to Play". You have to lie and deceive family, friends, others every day. Soul destroying. Glad this brave woman spoke out.

It is there now and hopefully is generic enough to stay.

It really is time to notify yawns local council. This is insanely dangerous

It is surely best to use the facilities in her home. I am confused that she even considered otherwise to be honest. Access to proper facilities, hot water, heat, soaps etc. The metal shed was never a realistic alternative, was it?

It speaks to a contempt for her clients

Preacher has launched his cancer care pack campaign today. Apart from anything else this demonstrates the need to keep grifting even when very seriously ill. He isn’t referring directly to FL or featuring them in any photos but mentions the obligatory deodorant, lip balm and hand sanitiser. He obviously puts in some other gifts but the £25 he’s asking for would be much better given directly.

He may be ill but he still needs to comply with regulations regarding fundraising such as transparency and agreement with the charity who are entitled to know how his money is being raised and what is profit made in the name of charidy.

Spongebobette · 25/10/2026 15:58

Wow that’s all kinds of dodgy

he’s published his bank account and a PayPal account for people to pay straight into, as well as a Crowdfunder. The money will be untraceable and even if he spends it all on FL products, he’ll benefit from each sale in profit and in CCs

I am sorry he’s not well but this is not on

I’ve reported the Crowdfunder

Headband still upset.

Posted to say she had recently been under attack again from 'so called' individual
So shes read the article and recognises herself even though her name was not mentioned..

Jolly good.

Spongebobette · 25/10/2026 18:04

lol what’s a ‘so called’ individual???

OP posts:
HotAsSatansBalls · 25/10/2026 18:15

I have consulted The Dictionary of Botshite which defines “so-called individual” as someone who is not a bot in the thrall of an MLM cult. 😉

Someone’s asked for a photo of what’s in the pack and he’s shared this one from last year

At £25.00 the charity is also missing out on £6.25 Gift Aid, his set up is more Grift Aid.

YouOKHun · 25/10/2026 19:19

Now that is interesting that he isn’t showing the brand in the photo which he probably thinks makes it somehow more compliant. In some ways, if that’s the image he intends to share, it’s more misleading and does nothing for charity commission compliance.

. @Spongebobette I agree, his crowdfunder and person PayPal looks very dodgy even if his over all intention is not. That crowdfunder was originally set up for his “cancer mentoring” service I think which could have had its genesis in good intention but could so easily get difficult for him if people feel their money has got lost in his personal account. Any FL activity indicates self interest.

And we all know why!

She has no shame.

notgettinganyyounger · 26/10/2026 18:08

So she absolutely has not for one moment stopped to consider the impact her business has on anyone in her downtime. Very much business as usual. Awful woman. Put looking for fresh victims in a soft play centre. She is something else.

I did read some of the comments under her 'so called individual' post. One person is really quite nasty about fearless , and headband is full of glee.

Well it won't be long before that person realises shes been conned. Watch this space...
