Re: Ronnie's dead!
No sympathy whatsoever, he's a murderer and should never have been given parole.
(When I saw this thread I hadn't seen/heard the news and thought it was going to be Ronnie Wood. Now that would have been tragic).

Probably have a bigger funeral than Mandela with lots of lovely friends and 'colleagues' attending.

Well that tops off a crap day.
Kix - how is he a murderer exactly? He didn't hit the train driver and the poor guy eventually died of leukemia, a completely unrelated death.

Re: Ronnie's dead!
If the gang hadn't held up the train and smacked the driver and fireman over the head with an iron bar, then would they both have died so young?
Probably not.
I stand by my original statement and echo meow's sentiment (not often we agree) good riddance.
Expect barbara Windsor to be out soon saying what a loveable rogue he was, far from it.

Re: Ronnie's dead!
There were too early deaths as a direct result of these murderers.

The BBC piece seems well balanced:

I can't see where 'murderer' comes from..........

Re: Ronnie's dead!
Murderer on not, he was a criminal who rather than working for money like the vast majority of us do, decided it's easier to steal other peoples money. So what if it means beating up a few innocent people?
In an ideal world his death would have got not no press as ultimately he was a scumbag who brought no value into this world.
