    I`m quite sure some of them committed atrocities in their quest so yes they could be guilty of murder! All`s fair in love and war as they say!

    Whose "some of them"? The comparison was Mandela v Biggs.

    And as for "all fair in love and war" Biggs wasn't engaged in a war against an oppressive regime was he? No, in fact this "old school criminal" was a deserter from the RAF so again the comparison fails on both counts.

    Did you know that Adolf Hitler had a sister called Paula?
  • I'm currently making arrangements for the funeral of my dad who sadly passed unexpectedly on Saturday at the age of 67. He served his country in the army and his community as a fireman. He harmed no one in his life and got his pleasure from seeing the happiness of others.

    So excuse me if I don't shed a tear for an old scrote who should have served his time like a man instead of sunning himself in Brazil.

    RIP Jack Mills the driver coshed by the gang that Biggs was part of.

    Excellent comment Henry, my views exactly, could not have put it better!

    I wasnt comparing the two as regards to what they both did its the fact it was a RIP thread.I have my opinions on how Mandela did things but wouldn't voice them on a RIP thread.

    The guy got to rest in peace a fair bit while he was alive. More than pretty much anyone else on this thread. RIP is an utterly meaningless phrase, but the defence of the guy is pretty mad.

    Still don't get why the Profumo affair makes it ok LincsAddick. That didn't quite add up to me.

    Sorry to hear that AUN, sympathies to you and your family. Your Dad sounds like a thoroughly decent man.

    Old School, what does that mean exactly? He was a thief a liar and a womaniser, so I won't be mourning his death. Why do we lionise people like Biggs and the Krays?

    Don't venerate or sanitise the ill deeds of the dead. If they were wrong uns it should be said.

    i dont think he was sanitising anything, simply pointing out that someones death is not an excuse to suddenly start c#nting them off.

    unless relatives why. No one here said rip to the train driver crippled by himand his pals, who died early due to his injuries.

    I would have done - had I been able to as a baby and were this website, or indeed any others, around
  • One of my favourite pass times is slagging à dead bloke i didn' even know from Adam in order to increase an image of having à perfect life and being of à higher social status.

    Because i am holier than all of you.

    But if I slag the old criminal off from behind a stupid username on a forum, I look even naughtier.

    I've personally not been sentenced to 30 years in jail or robbed millions of pounds so I've no doubt about where we all stand up against Ronnie Biggs on the social status front.

    I've never understood giving respect to someone just because they're dead. If they deserve respect then give it, if not don't. I just don't think Biggs is worth any respect.
    Why be a hypocrite? (and this is not aimed particularly at you)

    I was stopped from saying what I wanted to say about Thatcher on here when she died.
