I thought British justice was meant to be blind? Meaning we are all equal in the eyes of the law, irrespective as to individual circumstance.

Incidentally there's someone in my extended family who was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and told he had six months to live, in 1968.

Happily he's still alive today.

'After months of being at death’s door with prison guards posted at his hospital bedside, Ronnie Biggs has now discovered that five days of freedom can have a remarkable restorative effect.'

'The Great Train Robber was said last night to have made a dramatic recovery from his life-threatening pneumonia.'

Well what you apparently meant isn't very clear from this post.

Reads quite clearly as a statement.

Perhaps you should refrain from posting so early until you've had your Coco Pops.

So this man is a known terrorist, okay Andrew care to elaborate, Private eye and lots of rough justice groups have questioned the chain of evidence and the conviction.
Does that make the Birmingham 6 terrorists or the Famous 5 or even the Renault 4 terrorists (sorry could not help, hehehe)

It would make no sense as a pure statement. Perhaps you should note the periods which suggest a continuation of sentance.. Something Accyman managed to read clearly. ;)
