The Dangers of Referendums
Many people are pinning their hopes of "deliverance" (for want of a better word) from Brexit on the possibility of a second referendum. They should not get their hopes up, in the unlikely event there is a second referendum, they should bear in mind:
1 Referendums are divisive, as the last one has amply demonstrated. To hold a second one will not heal divisions, but will worsen them.
2 Brexit is not a simple binary choice, yet the referendum will be.
3 The result may not be what you wish for, then what?
4 There has already been a referendum on this subject. Do you just keep holding them until you get a result that you want?

#TobleroneGate - Don't Fall For The Brexit Rumour
Toblerone is made in Bern (as per Toblerone), the myth that the change in shape is to do with Brexit cost rises is nonsense, this redesign and retooling of the product and production line is designed to increase profits.
