A fortune teller who used asparagus to predict England winning the Cricket World Cup says the US president is in for a rocky 2020. Jemima Packington interprets upcoming world events by chucking Vale of Evesham asparagus tips in the air and ‘reading’ how they land.
The world’s only ‘Asparamancer’ thinks Donald Trump will be re-elected this year, but will be impeached again and kicked out of office.
Last year Jemima, also known as Mystic Veg, correctly predicted a year of extreme temperatures across the globe.
She thinks climate change will take centre stage again in 2020 but that more countries will take action to minimise its impact and pressure other states to accept there is a problem.
The psychic says storms, typhoons, hurricanes and flooding will increase tenfold because of global warming and warns the UK will suffer serious flooding.
High-profile and much-loved names in the sporting world are tipped to become embroiled in shocking scandals, while the youngest ever Oscar winner will be heralded as an acting icon of the future.
Continued turmoil within the Royal Family is expected to result in some members being relinquished of official duties, although the sovereign will prevail. Jemima, 64, from Evesham, Worcestershire, says more royal births and bereavements will occur this year.
According to the asparagus, a shake up of the major political parties is on the way soon, and Brexit will be pulled off far smoother than opponents suggest.

The Vale of Evesham asparagus will be heralded as the most prized vegetable worldwide.
Despite headlines heralding the death of the high street, Jemima thinks smaller stores and independent retailers will flourish where giants are failing.
he says the idea of shopping local will start to mean something to people once again.
Meanwhile a renowned showbiz personality is tipped to announce his unexpected retirement from public life and be honoured for his achievements.
A review of the BBC licence fee will take place and the licence fee will either be reduced or abolished completely, says Jemima.
She also predicts radical education reforms from nursery to university, with more challenging standards across the board.
Despite interest in Veganism growing significantly over the previous decade, Jemima thinks it could plateau in 2020 as people struggle to embrace life without animal products.

My prediction is just as valid as hers - and I like mine better !
Haha! Darksheare I was just planning on posting that broccoli was a much better predictor.
the wisdom of a vegetable.
“No, thank you. Asparagus makes my urine smell.” - Babe Ruth to host when offered asparagus.
Although my wife just put a small carrot in her stew that looked like “Mary”, and seemed to be saying something to her. I have made an appointment with a Doctor for next week....
Asparagus?
Way too expensive!
Use Green Beans, it much cheaper!...................

Hey, haven’t seen you in a while!
Hope you’re well :)
I always enjoy and take to heart your words of wisdom.
I don't know how good their rugby team was, but their cricket team was already considered one of the top 3, so that guess was pretty much a sure thing.
What about the one selling magazines?
That’s a pretty high bar you’ve set for her.
LOL!
Lol!
That is the only way to defeat broccoli.
