The social media platform dismantled its own guardrails, and harm followed.

The Bear argues it may be time for the UK to pull the plug – and explains why.

The right: “We have a huge problem with migrants not speaking English, this is unacceptable!”

Also the right: “English lessons for migrants? Get rid of it, no one wants this.”
