    I agree. It cost them so much, keeping him in prison, with nursing care etc.. would’ve been cheaper to let him go. But, I must say, if it was me, and considering the state of the NHS, he probably had better care than at home. Turned out that he had his last four years in a private nursing home after being released on compassionate grounds in 2009.

    Very true. They're not so much interested in EQUAL law, but harsh law for any INDIVIDUAL they hate, and as a result laws AREN'T equal amongst criminals. It depends on WHO you are and the establishment persecuting those who hate unequally versus others they didn't know who have committed an equal crime and get FAR less punishment for it. Julian Assange being one of the hated ones. If someone hacked some random company and spewed a bunch of their emails, they would likely have had the whole ordeal over in 2 years

    He should have stayed in Brasil. Instead of blowing his money, he could have set up some business, a shop, carpenters, whatever. In Brasil you can live well on one third of the money you need for a reasonable existence in Britain. And then he would have had insurance for private health care which takes care of absolutely everything, and well, (if you're insured).

    Actually it was not Rupert Murdocks jet that flew Ron back from Rio. I was working for Occitania Jet Services at the time and it was our Falcon 900EX that flew him back to Northolt. We were approached by the Sun Newspaper via a broker to charter the Falcon 900EX to fly a group of journalists and some of Ron’s former colleagues down to Rio to collect Ron. I remember briefing the Hostess about the flight and the catering order which was beer and curry. It was all hush hush while we planned the flight, but once we departed London the Sun splashed the front cover of the newspaper with the headline ‘we’re Ron our way’ and a picture of our jet getting airborne with the Sun logo on the tail. The return flight a few days later and the destination was kept secret to throw off journalists from rival newspapers. We flew to RAF Northolt where the aircraft was met by the Police. Talking with the Captain and Hostess after the flight had ended, I learnt that Ron was indeed very ill and needed oxygen during the flight. He certain,y did not eat or drink, but we made a bed up for him and kept him as comfortable as possible.

    Nothing will ever make me like Australian (where England dumped their crooks) Rupert. In the USA and probably everywhere, it is spelled "Murdoch". He took over the business and fortune from his father and pandered to lust and gossip with Page 3 girls and innuendo so that he could sell the working class on the idea that helping the wealthy helps us all. People need to catch on soon or the last remaining amount of freedom and influence will slip from the grasp of the working class that Rupert cultivated but betrayed from day one. As always, help,was necessary and here in America, that came from Nixon's election Team of Atwater and Ailes so that when the President in the 1980s laid the groundwork (including hobbling 20th Century Fox) a by then wealthier Rupert was able to "lather, rinse, repeat" his same formula on the working class here across the pond.

He didnt cosh the driver or participate in the act of the robbery.He dropped off a replacement train driver at the scene,nothing more. The govt tried to make an example of him. British people love it when someone gets one over on the govt ,which is why he became a bit of a infamous celebrity hero. Criminal yes but not a dangerous guy and not deserving of 30yrs inside.

I think it's because they were known to people more due to being minor celebrities, after featuring in TV interviews due to their ownership of clubs and mixing with film stars and British celebs. Also they were portrayed in the press as being glamorous and affluent , typical East end boys who had nothing and became rich and famous. Everybodies heroes.They were also said to only be violent towards fellow crininals and left the general community alone and made sure nothing bad happened in their own territory. The public are easily swayed by the press and TV. That's how I see it anyway.

    Quite an old documentary but interesting. I got to know Ron in 97 in Rio. A friend and colleague of mine took me to his place. There was a barbecue and a German film team was there in order to direct a documetary. An English friend of his played the trumpet. Ron did build the biggest and strongest joints I have ever smoked....but he did not like cocaine. When I was snorting a line on the toilet, he took me by surprise and was not amused. Anyway, apart from that we got along very well. Of course, I met Mike (Mikinho) there. He was a young dude at that time, in his twenties...and I remember a Belgian journalist called Phyllis Huber (who knew Mick Jagger), a close friend of Ron`s. In one of my books I wrote a short story about that barbecue (I made up something in addition), which is a mix of fiction and reality. Time goes by indeed ....I was 36 at that time and now I am 62.......R.I.P. Ron.....really R.I.P.

The British Government sent them to Australia and changed their names to try and protect them. We where never allowed to talk about it when grandad was alive. When i was a child and Biggs came to Australia i remember times being very tense. They thaught he was here to get grandad.

    Law enforcement is a matter of catching and punishing enough criminals that people are afraid to commit crimes, without combing through every citizen's life. That's called deterrence, and it means you punish people as an example, as well as a personal deterrence against further crimes. By your logic, if a man murdered only his wife, all you need to do is prevent him from getting married and the punishment otherwise does no good except as an example.
