Guest Guest Posted August 11, 2005 his lawyers have been saying that for years to get him released though..im not necesarily saying they might not be right this time though,but we should take that prediction with a pinch of salt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted August 11, 2005 Cautious as I am this one is in the bag for 2005. The only way the Home Secretary would release him is to let him die and it looks like the release is immenent. Letting him die in prison looks cruel, letting him out when he's not going to die right away looks soft. Even the restrained broadsheet press in the UK are saying he could die anytime. Not like Ernest Saunders the Guinness guy with his hand in the till. If memory serves me right he avoided jail becuase of medical evidence suggesting he had the preliminary signs of dementure only to make a miraculous recovery.

Lady Die 63 Posted August 11, 2005 I don't see what difference it makes whether he's released or not. The guy is so ill he probably doesn't know where he is anyway. Definitely #9 for 2005 - unless someone jumps the queue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GracieJc8 3 Posted August 11, 2005 Unless there is a surprise from another contender, I'd say Biggs is probably in the bag for #9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted August 11, 2005 I change my mind for number 9. Screw Brooke Astor - its got to be Biggs. I would imagine he will be released when the Home Secretary gets his fat ass back from holiday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted August 12, 2005 Come on Ronnie - now with "added MRSA bug", I need you to hurry up and kick the bucket this month as I've slipped a load of places on the rotten.com deadpool site due to Ted Radcliffe's death and I need at least a 6 out of 10 score.

Guest Guest Posted August 13, 2005 I just hope Ronnie Biggs doesnt die on the same day as Mo Mowlam..it would be a shame if his death overshadowed that of a good person like Mo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I takeThe Proffessor's point. Biggs is starting to look more and more like a healthy 76 year old who is faking an illness to get out early. If it weren't for the fact it would rob DL of a 2005 sucess I would say let him rot in there for ages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is infact unusual to have a person who is said to be ill in which "The proof is there" Though they attempt to make themselves much more worse then they actually are.

I just cannot imagine him lasting much longer, given his current condition. Regards, ff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
