Now 79 and seriously ill, train robber Ronnie Biggs is set to be released from prison into a nursing home.

Crazy. He was born in 1930 and robbed what in today's economy was probably pennies. He also was involved in a society worlds away from our own. Makes you wonder if keeping him this long was really necessary.

*EDIT*

LOL never mind I guess he escaped and was on the run for quite some time. What a cheeky bugger.

This was an awful crime resulting in the death of the train driver but Biggs is dying so why use taxpayers money keeping him in any longer!
