Some Londoners Cut Off As Failed Copper Thieves Take Fiber

judgecorp writes "About 37,000 Sky broadband and phone customers lost their connection, as incompetent copper thieves raided BT's infrastructure... and took fibre. Some scrap metal dealers will pay £4 per kg for stolen copper cables, but there is no dark market for fibre, so the thieves didn't make anything — which might be some small consolation to customers, some of whom had to wait for two days for BT to repair the inaccessible cables."

Re:"Dark Market"?

Yeah, it's PC phrasing. Because the actual niggers out there think every mention of "black" *must* be about them.

I define "nigger" as a "black person with a chip on their shoulder" or "black person with an attitude problem." The same goes for every racist epithet I've ever used; it's never been about the colour of your skin -- it's about your screwed up attitude and self-indulgent worry that everyone is always talking about you.

I don't know you. I don't give two shits about you. Believe me, when I refer to "black", it's about colour and nothing more.
