Nowhere have I posted in this thread that he was seen as some sort of folk hero to yourself, though to some it appears he is.

As pointed out earlier, the money belonged to every hard working man and woman in the country, the bulk of which was never recovered.

Calling the train driver 'a fool', for not giving in to these violent thugs, is a shocking statement.

He too suffered the consequences of his actions, because he was unable to work again from the age of 57, and suffered pain from the injuries he received until his death.

To me someone like Jack Mills, a hard working train driver, injured because he didn't give in to those who use violence to get what they want, is much more of a hero, than any selfish thug, who's only out to steal what they want at any cost.

I have a very clear grasp on what I think is right and wrong.
