Had he been in the IRA like Martin Mcguiness and Gerry Adams and committed murder he could have joined all the other rogues in parliament and received pay and privelidges for so doing !

I have never understood just why this crime was glamourised so much. How you can give the train driver a `tap on the head` with an iron bar, as Biggs restated recently - is beyond me.
He enjoyed the high life, living off the proceeds for 30 years (with no regrets), so let him do the time. Jack Straw was correct (for once).
(Avril - sorry to disagree with you for once).

If he'd stayed in this country and served his time he would have been out long ago. He's enjoyed the riches of his crime for years, mocked us from afar. I have no sympathy. Do you know Avril, he only served 18 months before he came back for his cancer treatment?

I suppose I can see your point Jim and Noel I mean he did have the best years of his life on the run he could have come back home and served his sentence and then been out. I do wonder when they say the man that they hit on the head was not able to work again what type of injuries did he have.

Jack Mills, who was 58 at the time of robbery, never fully recovered from his injuries, and never returned to work. In 1970 he died of leukemia [1] which an inquest confirmed, perhaps unsurprisingly, was unrelated to his injuries. As an innocent victim in such an infamous crime, he is very often mentioned when the subject is raised in the press.

I`m sorry, but I feel quite strongly about this (and so did the entire audience on the `Wright Show` this morning - much to Matthew Wright`s suprise). Biggs is NOT an old ,ill, man. The bottom line is that he is an evil, non repentant, villian and deserves all that is coming to him.

] I know he was on the run for over 30 years but still he is sick and I am sure keeping him locked up is costing much more money that letting him go home and die with his family.
] I am still of the opinion that others deserve to do much more time than they actually get. One of the worst to me which sometimes just gets a slap on the wrist even when people are badly injured or killed is drunk driving.[
