WATCH: Mayor of London tells local cabbie to ’F**k off and die’

London Mayor Boris Johnson was filmed earlier this morning having a furious row with a cab driver in the city.

Johnson, who's also a Conservative MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, was cycling home (as he is famously known for) on St John's Street in Islington when he became embroiled in foul-mouthed altercation with the taxi driver over the cab-booking service Uber.

A passer-by filmed the row - at around 12.20am - on their phone and you can clearly hear Johnson say "F*** off and die, and not in that order" to the abusive cab driver, who was also said to be making rude hand gestures towards the mayor.

Reacting to the incident, Steve McNamara, spokesman for the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, told the Daily Mail: "The taxi drivers in London are rightly worried about the way private firms are operating.

"I can understand why the driver had a pop at Boris, and to be fair to him, he gave back as good as he got."

You don't mess with the mayor, it seems!
