No, they're not 'vandals'!

I've been working at home today, because some scrotes nicked a load of railway cable north of Chelmsford (setting fire to some signalling equipment in the process)!

What annoys me is that the railway companies and the BBC keep saying "disruption due to vandals" - NO - they're not VANDALS, they're THIEVES!

This is the 4th time they've done this in 2 weeks...

Anyway of setting the cables so the f*ckers get roasted as soon as they touch them ?

Well, the last one they chopped had 25,000 volts in it... the arcing set fire to the surrounding cables and shrubbery...

Do you want to see them??

You can have a video if you like! (no gory bits - just the result of the fire).

If they say it's due to thieves they might be expected to do something about it...
