Dragons’ Den contestant Rachel Elnaugh, who appeared on the second series of the BBC One competition starring Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones, has been ordered to demolish her ‘safe haven’ for anti-vaxxers.
The 58-year-old once Tweeted that Chris Whitty ‘will hang’ for offering Covid-19 vaccinations to children, calling it ‘child abuse’.
She also shared posters claiming vaccines are ‘experimental gene therapies’ that are ‘not safe for children’.
In one video shared on YouTube, Elnaugh labelled the promotion of vaccines as ‘brainwashing of the masses’.
Elnaugh’s ‘safe haven’ 70-acre plot in the Peak District, gained through crowd-funding almost £1,000,000 with a group called Phoenix Rose, has now been ordered to close and return the land to its former state after it the development, which includes a teepee and a car park, was built without planning permission.
She said the land would be a ‘safe haven away from the threat humanity [is] facing,’ calling the vaccination programme part of a ‘great reset’ in videos uploaded online.

According to The Times, residents of the local village have claimed ‘shamanic rituals’ occur there, while Elnaugh herself described the national park as an ‘incredible vagina of land’.
An enforcement notice obtained by the publication says the site ‘failed to respect or enhance the character of their surroundings and have a significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of the landscape’.
