He was an old man that lived an interesting life. Just because some don't agree with how he chose to live that life doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a bit of respect now he's dead.

But, maybe if people want to talk about the crime he did then it might be best to start another thread for that and leave this for the people who want to show their respects.

And his assistant, Whitby, who also never recovered died at 32 from a heart attack shortly after Mills died. Still, allegedly, Biggs did give Mill's widow 65K.

its sad for anyone's family when they pass on clearly, but did biggs ever show any respect or regret for the family of the guy who was coshed during the robbery...?

and a question for those showing 'respect' for the guy, would you do the same to someone who had burgled your home as you slep and offed it with your possesions..?

I shall not mourn the passing of a criminal.

A criminal who cost the taxpayer millions by having the police chase him all over the world.

Funny how some are outraged about such things when others do this but a perceived loveable rouge is somehow due respect

yes, the romanticised cheeky chappy..

recognising that biggs was built up by the media to be more than whom he was and his contribution to the crime etc

had he been caught fiddling the benefit system or touching kids he would have been just another scrounging scumbag or a nonce..

cos he was only involved in theft its sort of ok, it was'nt 'my money'..

funny how some think..

"Who is he? "
Ronald Arthur "Ronnie" Biggs (8 August 1929 – 18 December 2013) was an English criminal, known for his role in the Great Train Robbery of 1963, for his escape from prison in 1965, for living as a fugitive for 36 years and for his various publicity stunts while in exile. In 2001, he voluntarily returned to the United Kingdom and spent several years in prison, where his health rapidly declined. On 6 August 2009, Biggs was released from prison on compassionate grounds.

I have no feelings about his passing, one way or the other. He is only known because of his criminal past. Hundreds of far nicer people die every day.

Its always sad when somebody passes away and despite what he had done someone is sure to miss him. On a side note though would anybody else agree that back then even criminals had standards and more respect for fellow humans?. Interested in your thoughts.. Duck

No, they didnt give a shit. Some of them even bribed the police, the radio was saying this morning how the guy who khoshed the driver has never been brought to rights, he's known, but bribed the police.

I dont think crims back then or before then had better standards

the person who was part of a gang who robbed a train, left the driver crippled, escaped from prison, lived the high life and only came back to britain when the money ran out and he needed free medical treatment....

or the person who was killed, by a vicious government volunteering to be a doctor and helping out the most needy in the middle of a civil war?

do i feel sorry for bigg's family... sure.. I have been thru what it is like to lose someone.....

do i feel sorry for biggs, well... he is at peace and his suffering has ended

Because he was still they're father. You know every member on this site do you? And just because you don't give a shit what people think don't mean every one else thinks the same. I'm sure there are sites/threads where you can peddle your don't give a shit attitude but show some respect

Respect to any one who passes and the family

RIP

It's not hard to pass on , we'll all do it so why respect is warranted I don't know.

His children maybe deserve some sympathy but it's no loss to the world that there's one less criminal in it.

And it what good way do you remember the criminal that is Mr. Biggs ? "

I don't and never said I did I said people should show some respect for his family. Say what you want to each other but not on a site where others can read it

No he'll never be forgotten that's for sure. I'm sure Jack Mill's family will never forget that one of the members of the gang were responsible for beating him, an innocent train driver going about his job, with an iron bar, causing injuries from which he never fully recovered and subsequently died. I'm sure the press and the movie industry will not allow us to forget either because they continue to make money off the back of Biggs and his mob.

Let us not forget, Biggs and his gang weren't the lovable cockney rogues who 'was good to their old mothers', they were a bunch of thugs and ruthless criminals prepared to go to any lengths during the commission of their crimes.

"if under 25 you don't know what he done.you hear rumours get the facts right

He was party to a crime that left an innocent man a vegetable and got away with a large amount if other people's money. His family have my sympathy but he gets no respect from me. Not while living it up in Rio or after passing. Sorry.

Why does dying automatically mean you should be respected?

Remember he was in the gang in which a guard was murdered so respect him no way on earth.

Did you respect them before their criminal relative died? If not, respecting them when the criminal dies, and for that reason only, is just hypocritical.

"To be fair this is very tame in comparison to many other RIP threads.

But, maybe if people want to talk about the crime he did then it might be best to start another thread for that and leave this for the people who want to show their respects.

Thanks in advance

Don't think I'm being too pedantic when I point out that the guard actually died of leukemia

Our negative views towards him wont mean shit to his family even if they did read this, we don't mean a thing to them and rightfully shouldnt.

It is wrong to speak of the dead in an ill manor though, however, I would of said the same stuff this time yesterday

Because they dont know us and we are just forumites off a website.

Im a member and yet dont know people, I dont give a shit what people think, why would they?

You may be mis understanding me, Im not sure.

I dont give a shit what people on this site think of me. I'm guessing that The Briggs family are the same as me, they wouldn't care what we thought of Ronny.

Why are you even asking me if I know every member on this site?

Im not peddling anything, Im not trying to convince anyone wether they should be positive or negative on the subject of Ronny. I dont have an attitude about it but I do have an opinion.

At my age I have known for a long time that peoples opinions won't be the same as mine, not all of them, but Im not nieve enough to think everyone thinks the same as me.

Hope the mis understanding, if any; has been cleared up

Every criminal involved in the robbery was responsible for the violence used,not just the actual thugs who dished out the beatings. Rumour was that Buster Edwards was one of the thugs who later took his own life,he was apparently looking at another lengthy jail sentence at the time.

Biggs took the piss out of the English justice system and that's why he became a legend to many. Both hardened criminals at the end of the day and not missed by the majority.

However some of the comments about Biggs on this thread beggar belief,the sort of people I'm pleased I will never meet.

There is no love loss for mr biggs here. I feel for his family, but the man stuck two finger up at the british police for so many years that you have to admire him, i do not condone his crime, however, because of the size of the robbery the sentences that were doled out were staggering, if you are honest with yourselves, what would you have done, walked like a lamb to the slaughter, or, done your best to remain free.

armed robbers today get away with very light sentences today compared to what the train robbers got. Where is the justice, armed robbery is armed robbery full stop.

there are more tax dodgers in this country that cost us a dam site more than biggs has.

the guy is dead, among the criminal fraternity he will be a hero, to tha normal person in the street je is a name that that have heard of for something that happens a long time ago, and to be honest couldn't give a toss about.

get off the moral high ground all those who a posting bash biggs posts, unless you are old enough to know what he did and remember how he lived after it.

When I read about his death, I just thought, "Ah well".

And then I came across this thread.

Am speechless. The bile and the reverence are equally stupefying.

I'm glad that my liking of some of the posters above has been justified.

if you are going to post check your facts, no one died, jack mills, the driver, died of chronic lymphatic leukaemia, with a further complication of bronchial pneumonia, in 1970, 7 years after the robbery

Will Ian Watkins, rightly vilified on the thread above this, deserve an RIP thread and respect when he dies?

You don't deserve respect just because you die. His family will mourn Biggs but why anyone who didn't know him needs to grieve or respect him is beyond me.

Wow

There are some really nasty posts on here.

I did ask before I went to work to leave the thread as a RIP thread but as usual most people took no notice.

To the OP if you want to start another RIP you can do.

If anyone wants to discuss anything other than that then do as asked and start a new thread about it, or you may find yourself banned.
