The Last of the Famous International Playboy's?

Dear hero in prison sang Morrisey on his hit song based on the the Krays. Now one of the last international playboys is back to being a free man in Britain no longer a hero in prison but to many a hero who beat the system and 'the pigs'. Common sense dictates that Biggs should be freed from his prison sentence as if reports are to be believe he's a sick man with perhaps only months to live and even if he does recover his freedom will be confided to that of a nursing home in Norfolk. So at best his freedom is only a muted victory but the point is this shouldn't be seen as victory at all, after all Biggs turned his back on British freedom a long time ago and instead flaunted his freedom in Brazil for the world to see activity self promoting all the time so that he could be put up there with the Krays in that long line of strange British hero's, the homegrown working class gangster, most famously from the east end. Although Biggs never committed crimes as brutal as the Kray's, he did perfectly characterised himself in the same vain so well in fact that when he was finished living it up in Brazil, poorly, and wanted to come home The Sun, whose readers include a large proportion who are poor and working class, spent a huge sum of money bringing him back on a private jet. What for? great deeds to society? representation of the great and good of human kindness? No because he was a salt of the earth geezer from South London never mind the life of crime that paid for his endless fun in the sun. We love the geezer because in our minds they are one of the people, Guy Ritchie makes films about them, people go to Eel pie cafes in East London to pretend they are them and worst of all Babs Windsor talks about how lovely they were on endless TV shows. The problem is most on them weren't lovely or decent they were scum and violent bastards to boot Babs may say the Krays were a great laugh down the Nag's Head but the bloke whose bollocks they had in a vice probably had different views. The main problem of this hero worship is that is creates the idea the geezer gangster is okay, this is why recently we have seen a raise in old school gangster style crimes, the loan shark in Manchester who prayed on the poor to fulfil his own financial needs, who led people to live in fear, lives made a misery, now we have the 40m jewelery thieves, what a laugh straight from a Micheal Caine film, after all they're only stealing from rich bastards in Mayfair. No like Biggs, like the Krays they are harden criminals who have chosen a life a crime instead of work, they will strike fear into originally decent hard working people to get what they want as quickly as they want. So yes it was common sense to make Ronnie Bigg's a free man at this time in his life but lets not see it as victory or turn him into a hero or treat him as a hero like The Sun did when they laid on that private jet, he didn't contribute anything to British Society I mean even at the a basic level he didn't pay any taxes to the NHS which he has now benefited from, when he was partying in Brazil, so instead let him die where his life choices have led him to die a weak lonely death in the very unglamourous surrounding of a Norfolk care home.
