Are you a 'somewhere' or an 'anywhere'?


  •  Goodhart wrote in March, and his new book proposes that

  •  the main political faultline in British society is the one dividing a powerful minority of university-educated professional, think journalists/teachers/the political class from ordinary people.
You could divide these groups from the somewheres (indigenous population) who have ‘rooted’ identities based in ‘group belonging and particular places and who are disenpowered.  ‘Somewheres’, are  in the main ‘socially conservative and communitarian by instinct’, resist immigration and diversity. Somewheres feel they are an  immutable community bound by origins to a specific place, and should have the right to remain distinctive.

The  Anywheres’ prize ‘autonomy, mobility and novelty’ over ‘group identity, tradition and national social contracts’.  They prize globalism, open borders,  diversity, encourage immigration and wail that Hillary did not win.
