R.I.P Ronnie Biggs

[RonJeremy 10]

he was held up as a hero against the system for the escaping not the robbery i believe

 

 

So...... his crime was irrelevant to these people who laud him? And to you too I presume?

This is really mixed-up thinking of those who think he was to be praised! Weird weird priorities.

Most of the time I can at least see where you are coming from MTB, but not on this occasion.

yeah right , like that other make believe hero in S africa

rest in peas

 

I don't really think the two are comparable.

At least when Mandella conspired to kill innocents there was a cause. It wasn't just selfish theft.

Correct me if I am wrong but the £2.6 million (the equivalent of £46 million today) that was stolen was taken from a state run company. So he stole from ALL of us! How does that make him a folk hero?

 

I'm thinking the people who think Biggs is a hero are the same people who thought Raoul Moat was one too!

I'm guessing the hero worship of Ronnie Biggs is some sort of punk thing seeing as he made a crap record with the Sex Pistols once, but really, Mel, I think you're wrong on this one.

Agree with you.

I bet a lot more people suffered and maybe topped themselves when the bankers nicked all their dosh.

Low life criminal dies. Good.

[Scabbydog 10]

A bit like the Krays. Not lives to celebrate.

Doesn't deserve to RIP,didn't end the career of the driver,ended his life.

Jack Mills died of leukemia 7 years after the robbery ,there was no connection to the injuries received in the robbery.

That doesnt exclude the injuries from the robbery finishing his career though.

[Boothybabe 10]

again spiting the system, again on his terms not theirs

 

You are a true rebel Mel
