“Mayoral Race”

In London, Mayor Boris Johnson answered a woman’s call for help as she was about to be attacked by a gang of teen girls, rescuing her before any could do her harm with an iron bar. As an Englishman, all he had to do scare them off was show his teeth.

American politicians have also sent young women running, but we call that sexual harassment.

The mayor, an avid cyclist, was on an evening bike ride at the time, and the incident has given him enough of a boost of confidence that he finally feels ready to take off his training wheels.
