* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The ''Democracy Now'' quote at the top of the page seems a lot less like a convincing argument since Mayor of London, [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Boris Johnson]], rescued a woman from a mugging that he happened upon while [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8340865.stm cycling past]<ref> Note unlike certain other cities, the Mayor of London does not have automatic 24 hour bodyguards, it really was just him riding up</ref>.
