I don’t know Donna Whyte, and we may never meet, but what I do know is that when she opened her heart about the murder of her much-loved daughter by a migrant, she spoke so much more sense than the poncy Oxford grads who go into politics to tell working people what’s good for them.
Mrs Whyte is the mother of 27-year-old Rhiannon, who worked in a hotel which houses migrants. Among them was a piece of filth, Deng Majek, who had arrived in this country by boat just three months earlier.
One night, Majek tracked her from the Park Inn hotel to the railway station and, for reasons never explained, stabbed her 19 times. He was jailed for a minimum of 29 years.
That sentence is right, but there are two things I take umbrage with. 1) It won’t bring Rhiannon back. 2) He will receive three decent meals a day and a warm cell and will be in better conditions than the country he came from.
In an interview with GB News, Mrs Whyte laid the blame for Rhiannon’s murder firmly at the door of Sir Keir Starmer. In his 19 months as Prime Minister, he has seen 66,000 migrants turn up in boats in Dover.
Not once has he seriously acted to stop the tide. He’s come up with phrases like ‘’Smash the gangs’’ and ‘’one in, one out’’ or more accurately "many in, none out’’ but is not prepared to simply turn the boats back to France. The only solution.
That interview by GB News is available to all the other networks ( Sky, BBC, ITV, etc.), but none ran it as it doesn’t dovetail with the narrative of the lefty journalists they employ.
This is what Mrs Whyte said: ‘’We were handed a life sentence the day I had to watch my daughter die. And where is Starmer? He’s got blood on his hands.’’
Mrs Whyte did see her daughter die, as it was three days after the stabbing that she passed away in the hospital. Little has been made of it, but Rhiannon had a child who will now be raised by her sister. Thank God for family.
Asked who she was most angry with, Mrs Whyte said: "Starmer, the Government, for allowing this to happen. There are so many cases that are brushed under the carpet. We have sat quiet for 15 months for Rhiannon’s sake because I wanted justice.’’

The point she was making was that she had so much to say but was warned by the cops, the lawyers, etc., that if she spilled out what was in her heart, it would damage the chances of a conviction. I think that’s tosh, but you can imagine she didn’t want to take the chance.
Mrs Whyte went on: ‘’Starmer needs to be held accountable. If it were his family, Sadiq Khan, if it were his family, this wouldn’t happen. This needs to stop.
‘’There are cases of poor men, poor children, women being raped, attacked, beaten and murdered on a daily basis.’’
Asked what she would say to Sir Keir if she met him, Mrs Whyte said: "Would he be sitting there or would he be flying off to China?"
A very good point. The reality is that it’s the working people of this country who are paying the biggest price for illegal migrants being here.
Walsall, where the Whyte family lived, has it tough enough already, with nearly a third of its neighbourhoods in the top 10 per cent of the most deprived in the country.
Only a matter of time before there’s an incident in Crowborough which garners national attention. You can bet on that.
Right now, Starmer is trying to ‘’reset Brexit’’ (i.e. cave in) and therefore is never going to push back the migrants for fear of falling out with France.
Nor will he want to fall out with Spain, whose Labour Prime Minister has just announced that 500,000 undocumented migrants who have been in the country for more than a month and don’t have a criminal record will be allowed residency.
To grease up Europe, will Starmer do the same?
What is sickening about our PM is that it appears he will do anything to accommodate the EU (he will be thinking of his next job), but will do nothing at all to really understand Mrs Whyte.
That’s why he, and the rest of his MPs will be thrown out at the General Election.
That will be a great day for the working people of this country.
