Uri Geller urges mass-telepathy against Brexit

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller wants to bend British Prime Minister Theresa May's will against Brexit using mass-telepathy.

 

From his home in Israel, Geller - who is also a British citizen and a former resident of May's Maidenhead constituency - wrote an open letter to the prime minister urging her to block Britain's exit from the European Union.

 

Now he wants Britons to join him in twice-daily bursts of telepathy directed at the Conservative leader, in the hope of inspiring her to call a second Brexit referendum.

 

"Maybe I'm a bit too late but at least I'm trying my best to use my paranormal abilities, because I'm very concerned that Theresa May will step out of EU," Geller told Reuters.

 

"That would be tragic. It would be catastrophic, especially for young people. There'll be economic chaos. I'm calling it a catastrophe and I feel it ... call it extra-sensory perception."

 

Geller came to prominence in Britain with a series of appearances on prime time television when he pulled off stunts such as bending spoons, claiming the only force he used was the power of the mind.

I thought the satirical site News Thump had the best response to this story - Theresa May has confided in close colleagues that she is considering revoking Article 50 to stop Brexit after reaching the end of her tether due to all of her spoons bending.

Another 'luvvy' telling the people they didn't know what they were doing. I know what he can do with his bendy spoons and it would require a surgical procedure.

 

Really does anyone give a hoots about this has been. He has his two minutes of fame. It is getting desperate when the elite have to rioll out this guy to make people change their minds.

 

What next nookie the beer or Orville. I am surprised there hasn't been a Sooty and Sweep Brexit Sketch. Please!

Entertaining?

He's claiming to use telepathy when it's just sleight of hand! Why wouldn't I insult someone not telling the truth?

If it was a magician saying something like this, then you'd be aware of an entertaining trick.

Wow, you are so obsessed with this, you even take someone talking about telepathy deadly serious.

Obsessed no. Annoyed at luvvies like this idiot yes. It is because some posters on here would actually believe this clown and start to make their argument that Brexit was a a bad idea. You wouldn't know which posters that would be by any chance?????

Ironically it seems many Brexiteers fear this JUST MIGHT WORK!

Even ignoring which side of the fence anyone's on politically with Brexit, you can't but laugh at this.

Perhaps Uri Geller's going to use his telepathic telepathy to 'bend' Brexit into a U-turn and become 'Remain'.

“What's that, Sooty?”

(Sooty explains)

“Sweep says he voted leave?

(Sooty nods)

“Why did he do that?”

(Sooty whispers)

“Because he likes leaves?!?!? ……Oooooh,. Say bye-bye, everybody, bye-bye”

if a con artist is against brexit,

it just might be that the brexiteers have a point.

then again, the most likely case is he is just craving attention, no matter how daft

Spoon-bending...something similar to amulets?

Whoa! He'd do well here with the gullible who believe in that stuff.

He needs some way to market his sleight of hand with the spoon-bending - perhaps linking it to religion. He'd have a cult following within an hour.

 

About twenty-five years ago I went to a large house in Bangkok to see a 'monk' who was exercising exorcising evil spirits out of the gullible possessed.

At one point the 'monk' appeared to put his hand in the mouth of one of the terminally stupid, and produced an egg. He cracked the egg and a small bird flew out and around the room.

One down, there were plenty more to go.

I really, really, wanted to applaud to show my appreciation of the trick. Girlfriend at the time stopped me. Everyone else was impressed and believed the whole 'show' was genuine. <sigh>

Is this charlatan still at it? Well bugger me with a bent fish fork!
