Whether you’re celebrating or cursing Bloomberg’s close victory yesterday, it’s easy to agree the third term mayor could work on his “man of the people” persona. As he’s found inspiration on so many other issues, Bloomberg should look outside New York, to London where the mayor can be found in the street, defending common folk against those damn “feral kids.”

Riding his bike through Camden on Monday night, Boris Johnson heard a woman calling out for help against a gang of “hoodie-clad young girls” “wielding an iron bar.” According to the Guardian, Mayor Johnson grabbed their weapon and chased the “oiks” off before returning to escort the woman, The Age of Stupid director Frannie Armstrong, home. |Guardian|
