For the record I'm brown and clearly not British born.

Would you not use a house/pet sitter over this?

Cut all contact and get someone who is a decent person to look after your pets. This piece of scum does not deserve access to your home, your family, your pets or your money.

There's no excuse or place for those kind of views in any society. Also report the post for hate speech and repost it onto social media so other clients know what a hideous person they are.
I'm so sorry that you had to see that, it's inexcusable and downright embarrassing to those of us also born here. I am glad you're here.

Thank you that's very kind 💖

I wouldn’t want them in my house. White, Welsh, live in England.

Ooh, nope.

Hoppinggreen · 22/05/2025 20:59

I have actually stopped using a pet sitter due to her FB posts, and she did it for free!!!
I am white and British born if that is relevant

murasaki · 22/05/2025 20:52

Hard no from me.

Ewww, this is so grim and vile that it's embarrassing. It appears this person is quite young too. (I assume that's her on the bottom left of the photograph?) Smashing the myth that it's only older people who are bigots.

Nasty. Block her @Ethicaldebacle Where is this person's account? Is it instagram?

No, she's middle aged. She shared this on FB.

I’m not brown but I’m disgusted by that. I’d not give them my money.

BoredZelda · 22/05/2025 20:33

Nope. Wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

spiderlight · 22/05/2025 20:31

Vile. I wouldn't touch them with somebody else's bargepole, let alone trust them with a pet.

Astrak · 22/05/2025 20:26

Definitely block them. There are reliable and non-racist professionals who will be available to take care of your pet.

Done2much · 22/05/2025 20:19

wouldn't be associated with them and would block and blank them

(also white btw)

Jc2001 · 22/05/2025 20:14

Callie247 · 22/05/2025 19:32

Perhaps message and gently remind them that St George who's flag they so proudly display was actually born in Turkey before you block them 😂

I wouldn't engage with them at all.

ACynicalDad · 22/05/2025 20:12

I'm white and right of centre, but hell this is grim.

Shetlands · 22/05/2025 20:10

I'm white (and so are my dogs!) and we wouldn't have a racist in our house, let alone pay them for anything.

MorrisseysMisery · 22/05/2025 20:09

Complete knuckle dragging ignorance.
They embarrass me as a white woman.
I would not allow her to feed a bloody goldfish.

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 22/05/2025 20:05

I’m white and I’m disgusted by it. Absolutely not.

uuuuu · 22/05/2025 20:04

You would be crazy to let this person anywhere near your house/pets.

Crikeyalmighty · 22/05/2025 20:03

Absolutely not . Nor would I book them for any jobs on my house either posting this kind of twaddle if I was aware of it .

Oddsocksanduglyshoes · 22/05/2025 20:01

Definitely a hard no

LuvACustardCream · 22/05/2025 20:00

I'm white as milk, mix of English, Irish and Scots. I wouldn't hold a door open for that sort of person. Vile opinion that.

ruethewhirl · 22/05/2025 20:00

No way would someone posting that get my business.

ButteryLightHouse · 22/05/2025 19:57

They are disgusting. No way would I give them my money. I hope their business fails

Bezzi · 22/05/2025 19:37

I would not associate with this person in any way. I certainly wouldn’t line their pockets with my money. Horrible
