Well, if you read the Spectator piece, Kathryn, McKinstry ends by lamenting that the traditional tolerance of the British towards “harmless old buggers”

has been swept away in recent years by waves of pedo-hysteria washing across from the USA. So I think Americans need not fear that any London gent will bestow the wrong sort of fond gaze on their sons. Any gent who does so will be leapt upon by a squad from the Metropolitan Police pedophilia unit, clubbed senseless, then dragged off for 15 years in the pen, just like here.
