I've been going through the archive.org of her first, long-deleted blog. It's crazy - I'll put up screenshots when this current Twitter madness dies down a bit. Starts the blog in March '12, is pretending to be a local celebrity with strangers shaking her hand in the supermarket literally 2 months later...

This stood out, from the early entries:

People struggle to believe that I am ‘poor’, because I have nice curtains. I see the judgement, the eye cast over the piano in the corner (given to me by an elderly woman, if you must know) and the slightly posh accent (Grammar school education, blame my parents.) People struggle to believe I’m poor because I have ‘things’. Most of my ‘things’ were found, cobbled, or are remnants of a past life that haven’t yet been sold.

Even as far back as 2012, everything nice was #gifted.

One day when she is exposed for the fraud she is (how much has she raised for Magic Breakfast again?) we will have the comfort of genuinely having the last laugh. Can't wait 🙂
Call me a pessimist but am beginning to wonder, doubt even, if her being exposed and for that to have a detrimental affect on her 'success' is ever going to happen. Yea, there are signs but infuriatingly, she's made bank and about 20k followers from this latest swindle, and that's despite all of the doubts from the left on twitter. She's actually growing in popularity and to the simpletons of the world, the praise will stick. duck, she might even twitter-con her way all the way to an honour from the queen.... RAAAGH!!
