Ex- Dragons' Den star Rachel Elnaugh is locked in a battle with angry locals with some claiming her new project is some form of 'cult' believing in a "food apocalypse" and the "Great Reset". Elnaugh has helped to create a community farm in the heart of the Peak District in Cressbrook Dale.
She has posted videos previously to her YouTube channel discussing what she described as "the great resolution to dissolve the Global Masterplan". The Bakewell native has an interest in astrology and tarot, has described the Covid pandemic as a "mass fear event" containing lots of "ridiculous new variants" of coronavirus, and has speculated that a fake alien invasion produced by Hollywood could be used to trigger a "global military response", reports Derbyshire Live.
A local campaign against the Cressbrook Dale plans says that the group's ambition is to live in the dale and "feed us all". However, Rachel has said the campaign is just "scaremongering" people and instead insists that the group's plans are to "enhance" the natural beauty on offer in the area.
