A GANGSTER has finally been deported after “ill- informed do-gooders” wrecked the first attempt.
Home Office guards tried to return Lawrence Morgan on a BA flight in November.
Home Office guards tried to return Lawrence Morgan last November but fellow passengers kicked off
But other passengers revolted at Gatwick, with Morgan reportedly thanking them as he was led away.
The Jamaican, 27, is understood to have then mounted a bid to remain, saying he’d left the island as a kid and didn’t know anyone there.
But he was deported on a commercial flight on February 25 and handed over to the Jamaican authorities.
Morgan arrived here in the 2000s and was jailed following a gang shootout on Birmingham’s streets.
Insiders say the passenger mutiny only stiffened government resolve to kick him out.
A source close to Home Secretary James Cleverly said: “In most cases foreign national offenders are deported with little or no disruption.
“The intervention of some ill-informed do-gooders stopped the deportation of an individual who among other crimes was involved in a gun battle on the streets of the UK.
“This did not stop our determination to deport him.”
