BA passengers who blocked the deportation of a gangster have been blasted as “ill-informed do-gooders” by the home secretary.
It has been revealed that the man whose transportation to Jamaica was stopped by a last-minute mutiny on the plane was previously jailed following a violent shootout on a street in Birmingham.
The flight to Kingston on November 10 was prevented after passengers realised a man on board was being deported, just as the aircraft was heading towards the runway.
Passengers raised their concerns with the cabin crew, until eventually they forced the plane to return to the terminal at Gatwic by refusing to take their seats. The man was led off, and has since been identified by the Daily Mail as Lawrence Morgan.
Every one of those people needs to be prosecuted. This kind of activity in any other circumstance would lead to arrests being made. Jail every single one of these people for perverting the course of justice. Every one. And mean it. Maximum sentences pour encourager les autres.
No, what should have happened is that all the passengers refusing to take their seats should have been thrown off the plane and then the flight continued, (along with their luggage).
Don’t even give them the opportunity to grandstand about their prosecution.
Problem solved.
Another option would be to also prosecute, amid full glare of publicity, those protesters for being complicit (aiding and abetting?) in any other crime that cancelled deportee commits.
Don’t bother with prosecuting the objectors, just put them on a ‘no fly’ list.
Much cheaper.
Good point.
Even better gas the bastards, cheap, easy and permanent.
It’s a strange situation because you often see videos of drunken passengers getting forcibly removed by the police at various airports. But when a piece of scum is getting legally deported and the passengers refuse to sit down nothing happens to them?
Just let the airlines treat them as they would any other passenger causing disruption – throw them off the flight and ban them for life.
