Rumor has it that an alleged teenaged boat person with a weird-sounding name reputedly stabbed an indigenous British woman to death last Sunday.

As if I were tiptoeing through a dictionary loaded with land mines, I’m choosing my words very carefully. The manic furor over “misinformation” that followed last summer’s Southport Stabbings has left me perma-skittish. I hesitate to make any definitive statements for fear of being extradited and tortured on camera by England’s Anti-Racist Ministry of Truth.

If you need a refresher course on what happened in Southport and the hellish cavalcade of deflection, misdirection, and gaslighting that unspooled in its wake, the whole wacky, aneurysm-inducing spectacle provided me with material for most of August:

• Why Are All Those Racist White Thugs Rioting in England?


• Have the English Finally Begun to Hate?


• Suppose They Planned a Riot & Nobody Came


• Big Sister Is Watching You

A brief recap: In Southport late last July, three white girls under age ten were stabbed to death at a dance studio. Ten others, including eight children, were injured.

A social-media post initially claimed:

A 17-year-old Ali Al-Shakati from Banks has been arrested in connection with the Southport stabbings and is currently in police custody.

The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.

This turned out not to be true. But authorities arrested a British woman who’d shared information from the post—while she’d allowed that it might not be true—and charged her with “publishing written material to stir up racial hatred.” Pakistani authorities later arrested a Muslim man for allegedly writing the initial post, accusing him of cyber-terrorism for suggesting that the Southport stabber “was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK on a small boat.”

The sticking point in Southport was that the eventual arrestee was not a recent arrival by boat, much less a “small” boat—he was 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, the son of Rwandan immigrants. But even though white Britons rioted across the country for a few days, that provided authorities with a convenient way of sidestepping the pesky reality that a black teenager had murdered three white girls and roving packs of Muslims committed a slew of revenge beatings. English authorities only seemed concerned about protecting the mosques and the asylum seekers while being openly contemptuous toward the white Brits who’d had their fill of “two-tier” policing and “two-tier” media sympathy.

The most recent stabbing murder in Walsall provides a fascinating study in similarities and contrasts with the Southport debacle.

This is what is known—sorry, alleged—this time around: According to multiple reports from English news sources, on Sunday, October 20^th, a 27-year-old white woman—who, as fate’s dark humor would have it, was named Rhiannon Skye Whyte—was stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver by an eighteen-year-old male who, depending on what source you read, was either named Deng Colmajek, Deng Chol Majek, Deng Chol Majeck, or Deng Cholmajek. I’ll go out on a limb here and assume that no one listed in the Domesday Book had a similar name. I’ve read murmurs that the suspect is of South Sudanese origin, but since I don’t want to be whisked away in the middle of the night, hung by thumb cuffs from Old Bailey’s gallows. and publicly whipped on a BBC livestream, I will preemptively assume that this is “misinformation” designed to inflame the violent terroristic tendencies of far-right racist thugs.

Several sources show the same picture of Ms. Whyte as she winsomely grins at the camera from a side angle with her hair pulled back and dyed the color of a DayGlo carrot.

But try as I may, I couldn’t locate even a mugshot or a courtroom drawing of the stabbing suspect.

England’s The Sun, which ran the lurid headline “STAB HORROR: Asylum seeker hotel worker, 27, ‘stabbed to death with screwdriver by teen’:

A WOMAN working at a hotel for asylum seekers was allegedly stabbed to death by a teenager living there.

Rhiannon Skye Whyte, 27, was stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver at a railway station after leaving work.

She remained on a life support machine in hospital with her family by her side and died three days later….

An 18-year-old suspect was arrested shortly after the attack on Rhiannon late on Sunday night. It is understood a petty row over a packet of biscuits is said to have taken place at the hotel earlier.

The teenager arrived in the UK in July after crossing the Channel in a small boat. He had no documents and applied for asylum.

He was housed at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel, close to Walsall FC’s stadium in Bescot, West Mids, where Rhiannon worked.

Residents have all now been moved out of the hotel.

Hotels housing asylum seekers were the focal point for attacks during riots in the summer.

One source told The Sun: “No chances are being taken. Residents have been removed from the hotel where Rhiannon worked.”

Let’s pause to ponder the irony that a woman who toiled at an upscale hotel that housed asylum seekers was allegedly murdered by an asylum seeker living at that very hotel. Let’s also gently chew on the notion that the match that lit the fire was a “petty row over a packet of biscuits.”

As the victim’s sister Alexandra tells the story on a GoFundMe page:

On Sunday, 20th October 2024, Rhiannon finished her shift and, as she often did, headed home to our mum in Walsall. She was chatti
