Scottish nationalists threaten to put a ‘brick through the window’ of 'traitor' baker who gave Boris a pudding

A desert maker has been threatened with a “brick through her window” by Scottish nationalists after she presented Boris Johnson with one of her puddings outside Downing Street.

Michelle Maddox said "I was told I was a traitor, that I could get a brick through my van. Another warned me to not walk down a dark alleyway.

“Who would have thought a clootie dumpling could have caused this?“

Michelle, who runs the world’s only shop exclusively dedicated to the traditional Scottish dessert Clootie dumplings, said shewas branded a “traitor” after she attended a Downing Street festive market which promoted British produce.

She posted images of herself outside 10 Downing Street on her social media channels, as well as a video of her presenting the Prime Minister with one of her dumplings.

Mr Johnson can be heard to comment on the size of the dumpling, which was wrapped in Harris tweed, and thanking Ms Maddox for the “fantastic” gift.

She said she was then soon inundated with abusive private messages from independence supporters which left her “in tears” and “petrified”.

I can’t say some of the words.“Another message was not a direct threat of harm but was verbally awful. I was in tears and petrified and I’ve not checked Facebook messages on my phone again.”She said around a dozen orders were also cancelled, including one large bespoke order, although interest in her business has surged after other Scots, disgusted at her treatment, purchased dumplings as a show of support.
