Seems that Poor Ronnie is not to be allowed out even though he's a bit crook.
Clicky.
Shame.
He comitted armed robery, left one of his victims a quadraplegic, broke out of prison, lived the high life on the procedes of his crime, laughed at our country with the sex pistols (would you buy butter from this man) and then when the money ran out, and he had no other option, come home to prison.
It is a very unusual day for me to praise the gopherment, but hats off to Mr Straw for overriding the parole board and sending him down.

Agree.
Quite why these scumbags have become folk heroes is a mystery. OK, so Biggs et al are not in the same league as some of the lowlife who'll stay inside until they croak, but maybe he'll have time to consider that if he hadn't done a runner to Brazil he'd have been out years ago (and quite probably back inside for something else!).

Quite, but what a pity Mr Straw's concern for his public image doesn't extend to concern for our safety and prevent psychos being let loose to murder people at random on the streets.

Is there any way we can lock his son up too? Or at least gag the objectionable little mouth piece?

I like the way his lawyer was saying "We must have compassion for an old man".
Where was his compassion when he carried out the robbery and injured people? Where was his compassion when he broke out of prison and fled to Brazil? Where was his compassion when he spent the majority of his life in paradise spending other people's money?
He made his choices, now he has to live with them. And the fact in past interviews he has publicly said that he is proud to go down in history as the Great Train Robber. No remorse, no release, i don't care how old you are.

I suspect HMG may have afforded him some leeway had he spent his time on the run away from the public eye, rather than grandstanding and thumbing his nose at the UK justice system at every opportunity.
He's had his parole, let the old bugger die inside - where he'll receive better treatment than (some) other pensioners of this land.
