The Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs has been refused parole by the Justice Secretary on the grounds that he was ‘wholly unrepentant’ about his part in the robbery. And this, despite a recommendation from the Parole Board.
I hold no candle for Biggs and the crime he committed but, for heaven’s sake, he is 79, very sick and frail and cannot possibly represent a threat to the public. He’s already served ten years which is more than some murderers get!
Let him out is what I say. Who cares if he enjoys a brief spell as a celebrity sipping a pint in his local pub?
