Billy the psychic goat has issued a series of stunning predictions, including Nicola Sturgeon's prospects of avoiding arrest. The six-year old has performed for audiences across the UK, using specially designed animal tarot cards. Owner Sue Zacharias, an animal trainer currently working on Ridley Scott's next film, claims her grandmother was likewise blessed with the gift of foresight, reading tea leaves for war wives in Suffolk in the 1940s.
Sue asks those seeking answers to specific questions to sit with Billy and stroke him until they feel 'grounded', at which point Billy will pick a card for them, using his mouth.
Billy's psychic powers have proven "spookily accurate", Mrs Zacharias said, and in 2019 he correctly predicted one punter would get married and have a family. Two years later the man visited again - this time with his wife and baby.
With respect to Ms Sturgeon, Billy says that she will not be arrested as part of the police investigation into SNP finances, a verdict which may come as some relief to the 42-year-old former Scottish First Minister.
