"The
Great Divide" is what David Goodhart calls it in his book The
Road to Somewhere: The Populist Revolt and the Future of
Politics....On one side are "Anywheres," often educated
professionals in urban areas, at ease with different people and
locations. On the other side are "Somewheres," less
educated, often in smaller towns, whose sense of self is defined by
where they're from, not what they've achieved.
The
Somewheres spent years thinking, "What happened to my country?"
With Brexit (and Donald Trump), they exacted revenge. Now, it's the
Anywheres who are aghast, asking, "What happened to my country?"

Dare anyone sleep soundly in bed
with crowds outside shouting, “Off with their head!”?

Should we hope for a missile from Kim Jong Un?
