The “will of the people” is not set in stone – a second referendum is the only way to heal the nation
Brexiteers oppose a second referendum for a reason. They invoke the spectre of violent disorder for a purpose. They do so not out of respect for democracy, but because they fear that they could not dupe the electorate into voting a second time
Given the hypocrisy it's hard to argue with this point.

First ever black hole image released
Last week I posted that the first image of a black hole was on it's way and now it's been revealed.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".
The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.
...
"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said.
"It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists.

'The Umbrella Academy' trailer
I just finished watching the first season of The Umbrella Academy and realised I'd only ever linked to the teaser trailer back December.
There are times where it's pace is a little slow, but overall a really interesting show that is well worth a watch.
