That a politician swore is not a good story for Hacker News. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html.


I agree it seems superficial. The deeper and more interesting side to this however is that it is exactly the sort of thing to keep an eye on if you are looking for events that are social catalysts. The Mayor of London telling a London cab driver to fuck off and die while arguing about Uber, is not just a story about a swearing politician.
