"According to Ronnie Biggs' son in a radio interview the other day, his father is dying and cannot speak and is all but immobile; time will tell. His lawyers have said that he has recently suffered two strokes and has facial paralysis, which means he cannot speak or eat."So I was not hugely surprised to read that (my emphasis): "Freed train robber Ronnie Biggs may be moved to a London care home as early as this weekend after a remarkable improvement in his health.
His family said the relief of being freed by Justice Secretary Jack Straw had given Biggs, 80, strength to fight the pneumonia threatening his life.
They also said his stay in a Norwich hospital, where he was today having surgery to replace a feeding tube, helped his recovery.
The infamous Great Train Robber’s improvement comes days after he was freed from custody on compassionate grounds because of medical evidence that he was unlikely to recover.
I hope that those who called me cynical last week will apologise this week...
