From my sofa in about the middle of the UK, I'd have to say that JzG's characterisation of the English as a nation of sweary neanderthals says a lot more about his lack of social awareness than it does about the general acceptability of swearing over here.
For what its worth, this "response" looks pretty coached to me. Its the set-up for letting him off the hook (with a sprinkling of "what a hero" on top). Shame if the efforts of those trying to solve a problem turned out to be futile...again.
