It takes a village to raise a child, or so the saying goes. So why are we always telling the village to F off? We unravel what's behind the idea of community being cancelled.
Plus, our weekend recommendations include an addictive spy show, a T-shirt Mia’s about to send viral and… a dog pee cleaner?
Also, mysterious playground encounters, a sudden loss and a festive backflip — it’s Best & Worst of the week.
