Uh, where’s Highbury gone? Ronnie Biggs’ health has improved so much since his release from prison that he is planning a trip to watch Arsenal. The Gunners fan hasn’t seen his team play live since being convicted of his part in the Great Train Robbery in the 1960s. The 80-year-old was given compassionate release from jail in [...]

This isn’t quite as sensational a story as Alex Ferguson demanding Manchester United fans stop calling Arsene Wenger a pedophile, but that one’s a day old, so this update on the condition of Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs, as culled from the TImes’ “Crime Central”, will have to do. Ronnie’s son, Michael, took his dear old [...]

Blair Presidency; "my chance to screw up not just a country, but a whole continent". I heard something absolutely hilarious on the Today Program this morning. You're gonna love this. Obviously we had the usual the assumptions from all parties now that the Lisbon Treaty is full-steam-ahead for ratification. Then, amusingly enough, there were the speculations about the likelihood of nomination...

It is not so extraordinary that Nick Griffin has sought to link military generals with Nuremberg hangings. This is all part of the BNP tactic of gainsaying opponents with the Fascist motif; the political equivalent of those playground philosophical discourses that ended when someone said 'No, YOU stink! No comebacks.' Hopefully, the public will see through this particular outburst and see Griffin for...

There was an interesting debate on prisoner release this morning related to the Al Megrahi (left) and Ronnie Biggs cases. Nick Palmer MP was trying to get to grips with the question of when prisoners should be released on compassionate grounds and when they shouldn’t. He reckoned it should never be down to a politician to decide – which given the manoeuvring around the Lockerbie bomber’s...

OK chaps, now listen up. Do you get excited about political party conferences? In my never ending mission to reveal the wonderful world of politics, here’s a quick round up of what went on when the lovely Lib Dems descended on Bournemouth Conference Centre to save the world. Team Opik was there… TRAINS DO you think our rail service is crap? I do. And it’s expensive too. That’s...

Interesting article by Maggie Fergusson in Intelligent Life magazine: When Colin Eliot, four years into a 15-year sentence, stuck a bird’s-eye diagram of HMP Wandsworth, London, to the wall of his cell on the high-security wing, the screws were straight on to him. Escapes do happen: it was from Wandsworth, in 1965, that Ronnie Biggs gave [...]

Their stories and misadventures have inspired some of Hollywood’s greatest films . They are the hucksters, burglars, and schemers whose love for taking risks and search for outrageous fortune made them legends. But after a sudden 1990s resurgence of criminal genius, the standard for bold, high-profile robbery has dropped precipitously. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not...

Who is the odd one out here; Vanessa George, arrested for sexually molesting toddlers Richard Baker, former choirmaster, arrested for molesting choirboys Roman Polanski, arrested for sex with an underage girl? There is none.They are all digusting kiddie fiddlers. Why is it that the same people who wanted Ronnie Biggs kept inside now call for Polanski to be freed? Biggs did the time for his crime, which...

Even though I have really tried, I can't help but notice all the kerfuffle about Roman Polanksi getting arrested . Normally, an elderly, confessed statutory rapist being arrested would be the cause of media satisfaction and endless articles talking about how justice has finally being done. Instead, Polanski's arrest has caused a whole host of protests from people who really should know better. The...

Today is decision day for the IOC to annonuce the host city for the 2016 Olympics. There are 4 contenders. Chicago : Atlanta was generally accepted as the worst run games in living memory - Chicago could find themselves tarred with their brush. In fact they should be refused just to show Obama that not every thing he touches turns to gold (although I'm sure he'll be finding that out soon anyway, but...
