Biggs future; Yourview.

LET'S put the Ronnie Biggs saga to bed once and for all.

This convicted criminal went on the run and stayed in Brazil for many years.When his health began to fail and with no free health service in Brazil, he gave himself up to be looked after in the UK. Biggs is nothing but a crook and a conman, and Jack Straw is quite correct to refuse him parole. Perhaps Mr Biggs should consider returning to his second home, Brazil.

J. Ward, Rutherglen... RONNIE BIGGS should be given his freedom first and foremost on the grounds of compassion and humanity.

It is quite obvious, due to his worsening health and age, that there is little or no chance of him re-offending and, although he may not have served all of his original custodial sentence, the authorities should be satisfied with the time that he has served.

Also, it must cost the taxpayer hundreds of pounds a week to keep Ronnie incarcerated.
