whether Ronnie Briggs should receive Parole and be released.

Could the same healthy discussion take place here?

What are the readers views?

By the way, for those who just LOVE to jump down my throat at every
opportunity, it's Off Topic on that forum as well :-)))

Being as he was responsible for the death of a man whilst robbing I think he
should have been hanged (or whatever) long ago, which would have saved the
rest of us a lot of taxes keeping him in prison all these years.

My views are -

A. it's Biggs, not Briggs, and

B. He should have been left to rot in Brazil. I couldn't believe how the
gov't jumped the queue for him and got a passport at a moments notice, and a
private or chartered jet or whatever, at our expense of course. It was
blindingly obvious he only wanted to come back because he'd discovered what
health and pension conditions were like over there.

Nevertheless, he's back here now, and in the system, and IMO should be dealt
with, fairly, on similar terms to everyone else in the system, i.e. in
accordance with the parole board's recommendations. Can't help but think the
Government is using him to try to convince the public that they're 'tough on
crime', him being a much easier target than modern day active criminals.

Interesting ....... Pension?

Would he be entitled to one? What has he paid in?

When he has finished his term in prision he can then be released.

He is a waste of NHS resources.

Send him back to Brazil.

One of the Kray brothers was in my hospital; where I was employed. I
will keep my thoughts to myself. He died at Norwich, at an hotel
which formerly belonged to friends of mine. Again, I will keep my
thoughts to myself.
