Having been on the other end of an armed holdup, I have absolutely no time for the point of view that glorifies people like Biggs. Mindless violent thugs.
The recent miniseries that dramatised his life was simply appalling.
Whether he hit the driver or not is irrelevant, he was part of a gang who used violence and the threat of violence to get what they wanted.
Comparisons to corporate scum are completely mindless, you have a bloke goes to work on a train one day, ends up with his life ruined. Biggs was a coward who was not man enough to face up to what he had done.
Good riddance to him!
