Great train robber Ronnie Biggs released "to die"

[liam6177]

some people of got there coments wrong, Ronnie Biggs got the job on the train robbery because he knew some 1 who could drive drive the train from were they stopped it to the bridge were the trucks were parked (Biggs was never a driver) Biggs mate could not drive the train anyway (it was electric) thats why Jack Mills got hit over the head to scare into driving it to the bridge to load up the trucks

Hes a very smart man

finally hes out at age 80

is the best thing ,hes still human to me ,isnt like he has killed anyone, theres worser people that should take his place , its not his fault he was able to escape, its the systems problem for not making it a prison you cant escape from, anyone else at the time would have took the opportunity too , just paper at the end of the day no blood spilt, the sentence was harsh anyway

The thing is, Biggs ran off for 30 years and then when he was ill, decided to come home to use our free health service. How is this any different to an immigrant who comes here to do the same (not that they all do, most of them are decent folk)?

He could have done his time and would have been out looooooooooong ago.

its makes it different as biggs is british obv only left here to escape so i say good on him

[theredraven]

So I suppose if a mass murderer escaped and then came back 30 years later that would be alright as he's "british obv and only left here to escape"?

[jgruggy]

were not talkin about a mass murderer were talkin about a guy who drove a van during a robbery so dont talk shit

[FlyingWoolf]

ronnie biggs was doing time until he did a bunk, and now he said he,s seen the light and he sold his soul to punk

[gallowspole]

Yay Ronnie!

A train guard was very badly beaten up in the raid...Im not sure but i think he had brain damage after the attack. A crime is a crime. Escaped from jail. He spent his share of the money. KEEP him in jail. This government has gone soft. The government will be letting out Ian Brady next saying sorry for keeping him so long.I give up ....the space in youtude is too small to gripe fully.

[Dukesy19]

I agree, they should have let him rot

[user56781]

i dont think it was a beating he was hit over the head by one of the gang members and left unconscious i dont know nothing about braindamage but i think the train guy died 12 years later of leukemia unrelated to the train robbery

How can you compare Ronnie Biggs (a small time petty crook who was drafted in last minute to drive the van) to Ian Brady (an evil sadistic perverted child sex killer who still refuses to identify the remains of his victims)

your comments are without substance and shallow.

[jgruggy]

wat shit u talk ian brady aye right they faked myra hindleys death 2 let her out what a whopper

[bonedmonkey]

Ronnie is a cunt, hope he dies soon

[enYx1]

Why is he a cunt? Do you know him personally?

[mightywibble]
