Playing with fears
Populists have a new grievance. For many years, on both sides of the Atlantic, they have thrived on the belief that a selfish elite cannot—or will not—deal with the problems of ordinary working people. Now populists are also feeding on the fear that governments cannot—or will not—keep their citizens safe.

Tonsillectomy vs circumcision

Two little boys are in hospital prior to having operations.

One boy leans over and asks. "What are you having done?"

The second boy says: "I'm getting my tonsils out and I'm afraid."

The first boy says. "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep and when you wake up they give you lots of jelly and ice cream. It's a breeze."

The second boy then asks. "What are you going in for?"

The first boy says. "Circumcision"

"Whoa!" The second boy exclaims. "Good luck, buddy, I had that done when I was born. Couldn't walk for a year!".
