West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 23 January 2009

Keeping this sick old rascal inside

• I HAVE no view whether Ronnie Biggs, participant in the Great Train Robbery, should be released from prison on health grounds or no.
But the slushily sentimental and admiring book review by Richard Osley (Sheer vindictiveness keeps this sick old rascal inside, January 16) concerning a man who was part of the violent gang who injured the train driver, goes too far in calling anyone who is against his release “a sack of shit”.
