Deep into his eyes...


What you saying then - you reckon Brexit is a good idea now?

Because according to the Daily Mail, Paul advised Ukip's Brexit campaign backer Aaron Banks with his social media campaign.

The self-help guru is apparently a mate of Aaron, the multi-millionaire Ukip backer who gave a £5.6 million donation to the Leave.EU campaign, and was asked help to 'strengthen the message' of the campaign's anti-EU videos.

The 53-year old hypnotist is the author of bestselling self-help books, including The Power to Influence, I Can Make You Happy and Hypnotic Gastric Band.

A source at the victorious campaign group told the Guardian that McKenna "understands the psychology of the mind" and helped Leave.EU "produce social media ads that resonated with people."

What?! Did they pull off Brexit through mind-control?

Apparently not.

The source added: "We didn't hypnotise anyone."

Likely story mate, fess up Paul you hypnotised us didn't you.

Didn't you...


A spokesman for McKenna said: "He is friendly with Arron Banks and Banks showed him a few rough cuts of promotional videos they were considering using in their campaign.

"Paul was quite intrigued by the new style of political campaigning, which he thought was influenced heavily by American politics."

Either way, we're having a Brexit now, so best get on with it.
