They are quick to state that they are UK Citizens, but that means fuck all when we give out citizenship like confetti. Where were they born?

Probably here. Like the Southport murderer and that stupid girl who went to Syria and then keeps crying about how awful everything is there and wants to come back.

Here's an interesting factoid that a military US journalist pointed out, I don't know if it's been mentioned on this thread. The vans used with their fake logos (not linked to a real company) were written in red. Fuel supply vans in this country always use green lettering, but this lot used red. OK you say what's so interesting about that? Because in Iran, they use red lettering for fuel. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I think that's worth pointing out. (image attached)

I thought they used the name of an actual company in Sheffield but got the telephone number wrong. Maybe their logo was in red.

Good thing most people don’t distrust the government and MSM and it’s confined to a few conspiracy theorists then.

Why do you trust the Government?

placemats · 28/09/2026 17:41

So far we have

Lefty fanatics
Not British
Not white
Small boats
Death of a beloved sister and a conspiracy
Conspiracy involving the White House
Conspiracy involving Russian intel
Useless UK government
Some EU countries that are hard-line
Compulsory call up of veterans
Ukraine conspiracy
Benefits slashed to increase defence
Eta Mossad, fuel company

Any others missed out?

It appears Rhianon Whyte's sister changed her mind. I expect she was told to say that by MI5, the Police and various charities. This is the standard procedure with victims of Islamic or other terrorism are told to say "don't look back in anger" lay candles, flowers and Teddy bears because the last thing they want is the native, targeted population saying we've had enough

Yes I had read of other cases, where it is an asylum seeker that has murdered that the authorities are heavily encouraging victims families what to say, and the authorities encourage not to be against immigration.

Not just asylum seekers/immigration but I might hazard a guess that's what happened with Henry Nowak's family.

MsJinks · 28/09/2026 17:43

IsEveryUserNameBloodyTaken · 28/09/2026 17:36

But a doctor didn’t murder her did they.
Oh the sister forgives him that’s alright then.

The murder of Rhiannon is not alright and no one said so.

There are good/ bad people everywhere- this is life.

I was pointing out there will be some immigrants saving lives as well as the odd one taking a life.

This horrific murder does not equal all asylum claimants are murderers.

EasternStandard · 28/09/2026 17:43

MsJinks · 28/09/2026 17:14

And if some other immigrant say a dr wasn’t here someone’s life might’ve been lost.
But take this up with the sister who said this - tell her she’s wrong.
I had best clarify that I think Rhiannon White’s murder was horrific on here I think!

The sister is quoted below saying she doesn’t feel safe. But also we don’t need to accept what happened to Rhiannon to have doctors. We can have the latter without the awful criminal act.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 28/09/2026 17:43

I can see how quickly they are trying to turn this local lady into a fantasist by the media and the Government. No doubt BBC Verify is on the case.

I just googled fuel 2 u Sheffield. The images of their vans show green lettering. @GentleSheep is correct.

Not born in U.K. !

And I’m calling a full house! Though this is so not funny I shouldn’t joke.

Does your random opinion on the internet trump that of Rhiannon Whyte's sister?

The sister is allowed to change her mind, or should she ask your opinion first.

’the odd one taking a life’.

The poor family. Perhaps vetting should be better.

Well I guess if they are inept they might not have known about the green lettering rule. But interesting none the less.

Rhiannon's sister will still be full of different emotions as each day goes by and she is seeing her nephew without his mother. I doubt she's bothered about being called a racist or preventing racial tension.

As said on a previous post people are mixed - good and bad - some save lives, some kill others. This is not specific to asylum seekers nor any group
except humans. Most don’t do either extreme.

We would be short of a fair few drs and other health staff without immigration though - and unfortunately there are swings and roundabouts as all immigrants are humans - as said - some good and some bad.

ilovebrie8 · 28/09/2026 17:49

The farmer must be feeling worried now. She was on TV saying the police haven’t followed up with her.
One minute she is being praised now she’s being turned upon 🤔

Yes exactly she can change her mind. My point being that I questioned the poster's opinion that it was due to pressure from MI5 and the police.

TheFlandersPigeon · 28/09/2026 17:50

Cadeaukatze · 28/09/2026 17:33

Possibly but I was thinking that the fact that they saw her and ran away didn't really chime with the idea that this was a potential attack by well drilled Iranian-financed terrorists (of whatever citizenship). They would have killed her.

Same, that seemed odd.

How do you know what the farmer is feeling and what are you talking about?

Work visas are a different system. It doesn’t have to be a blasé ‘some kill others’ for any system of entry.

Hang on- you missed out my conspiracy theory that it was either Prince William or Harry and Meghan behind it all.

Definitely compelling evidence given Harry has only just recently moved to the Cotswolds.

I think she shouldn’t have got herself out there tbh - apparently a potentially valuable terrorism witness chatting to all sm?! Surprised it was allowed. Surprised police haven’t been in touch to tell her to shut up either.
Obviously, she should be kept safe.
