Oh dear Boris, this really isn’t behaviour becoming of the Mayor of London good chap.

The 50-year-old, loved and hated in equal measures for his somewhat honest and off-the-cuff political decorum, was involved in a row with a taxi driver and he didn’t hold back when telling the man exactly what he thought. Here’s Sun Nation describing the exchange:

Boris bit back from his bicycle after a passing driver apparently accused him of failing to protect the city’s famous black cab industry…

The cabbie shouted: “You’re one of them mate. That’s what you are. One of them.”

…the much-loved London Mayor [is seen] stopping his bike and firing back: “Why don’t you fuck off and die, why don’t you fuck off and die – and not in that order.”

The cheeky cabbie then drives away yelling: “Yeah bollocks, I hope you die.”

Nice Boris, good thing you didn’t stoop to his level and chose to take the high ground. His behaviour didn’t irk the general secretary of LTDA (Licenced Taxi Drivers Association), Steve McNamara. who had this to say:

They are two grown men and it was the middle of the night so there were no kids around – I don’t think much harm was done.

I don’t suppose that the cabbie went home that night and cried himself to sleep.

True that, and to be honest the Mayor of London often comes across as one of the good guys, a politician who sits at the same table as many of the people he governs.

For future reference Boris you might want to be less Donald Trump though, I know you’ve got the hair in common but let’s draw the line there.
