Fortune teller who correctly predicted Brexit using asparagus has revealed her 2019 tips

A fortune teller who predicted Brexit using ASPARAGUS has revealed her tips for 2019 – including a global recession, World Cup success and the return of TV’s Big Brother.

Jemima Packington, 63, is the world’s only Asparamancer and claims she can peer into the future by tossing the veg in the air and interpreting how the spears land.

She predicts that 2019 will see that extreme temperature will become a norm and well-known British businesses will fold.

She also says that despite a global recession, fears over the impact Brexit will have on the British economy will be largely unfounded.

Jemima believes the reality TV show Big Brother will also return to our screens after it
aired its final series in November.

She also says it will be a year of Oscar success for A Star Is Born and British actors.

Jemima also has good news for England’s rugby team as she predicts they will have success at the World Cup in Japan.

Meanwhile she says the women’s football team will win the World Cup at this year’s finals in France.

Incredibly, ten of Jemima’s 13 predictions came true for 2018 – including foreseeing
Donald Trump’s summit with North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un.

She also correctly predicted the price crash of cryptocurrency Bitcoin and the revival of books in the face of modern gadgets.

Jemima, from Bath, said: “I’m able to interpret the patterns left by the asparagus.

“When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret.

“I am usually about 75-90 per cent accurate with my predictions and 2018 was about 77 per cent correct.

“I go through my predictions each year and think: ‘Yep, that’s happened, yep, that’s happened.’

“Occasionally I get one slightly off, where I haven’t quite read it correctly, but I’m never far off.

“Regarding Brexit, the asparagus said it will not be as bad or as good as people are making out.

“It will just happen.

“We are going to get us to the hot summer and very cold winters.

“It will be equally as hot or hotter this summer.
“We are going to be surprised by the household name business that will fold this year.

“If you look at the trend over the past five years it is very damning.

“The internet will be in the reach of everyone across the world including poor countries.

“We are going to be astounded this year by the breakthrough of technology.

“I was correct with a lot of my predictions and close with others.

“I nearly predicted a new Prime Minster – she survived but she’s hanging on by a thread.

“In December, I like to take time on my own and get my predictions out – I take my time and write them down.

“I always look forward and never really look back.”
