Hmmm well you can’t argue with Kezef on some of those points but I think we’ve got to put the crimes we are comparing Biggs too in perspective.

Sutcliffe & Co & for that matter the war the criminals committed their crimes in cold blood & intended to harm, tourture & ultimately kill their victims.

Biggs & Co were greedy gits & although there’s no excuse, matey probably got coshed in panic. Think about the crimes of that era & those we hear of on a daily basis now.

Hardly in the same class are they? ……. And NO I am not saying that makes it right either.

I gotta disagree the media have made a celebrity almost out of Ronnie Biggs, he wasnt a Robin Hood and dont forget a man got hurt, suffered constant trauma hreadaches and neever worked again.. this was no gentle robbery. He never served his time he escaped with a fair bit of the money and lived the high life in Brazil with scant remorse for his crime. Would you release Peter Sutcliffe because he was old and dying ?

Hmmm well here weeeeeeee go, a good old fashioned debate :lol: :wink:

I didn’t suggest for a minute that he wasn’t a crim & YES a chap did get hurt but …….
in the grand scale of things Mr Biggs is hardly a threat to society is he? Lets face it if the same crime happened today murder would probably be added to the charge sheet.

What I am saying though is that Jack Straw refusing to pardon him because he’s shown no remorse is just silly when they parole murders & give ridiculously short sentences for idiots that drive cars too fast & kill innocent folk.

The justice system is supposed to be fair!

And NO Peter Sutcliffe was a murdering nutter & a danger to society so I wouldn’t be saying the same.

(steps down & returns soap box to the corner for next time) :lol:

Well Cath it just about sums the British justice system up doesn’t it …….. :x

Just heard on the news that Jack Straw won’t pardon Ronnie because he’s shown no remorse for his crime. :?

Laughable really – Yeah Ok he robbed a train but folk are getting lesser sentences for murder & they get parole. :shock:

Personally I think they should leave him to spend his remaining time with his family & send the 3 guards off to do something more productive.

The poor ole sod can’t have much more time left on this earth what with his strokes & serious Pneumonia so leave him be.
