Sod Ronnie Biggs! The bastard helped rob a train, 2 people were injured, the money disappeared and he escaped prison and lived the high life till the money ran out, then came back here to scrounge health care. Why would you give a stuff about scum like that?

It's a strange world how someone who robbed a train. Ruined a life and then didn't face his crime becomes a celebrity.

I live my life abiding the law, even though I'm no Angel, I'm saying that this guy shouldn't be celebrated for being a thief? he deserves nothing but a pauper funeral and everything he ever owned should be given to the family of that train driver who was living an honest hard working life.

Happens all over the world and I blame the press for paying attention to morons and criminals over and over again turning them into some kind of celebs. Train robber sounds better than Joe Average and apparently catches more attention. The press could do with more of a brain themselves I guess, but it is scores of brainless readers that love some of that BS. Even though I'd like to, people keep telling me it is not a viable option to kill every idiot.
