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

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?

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.

spiderlight · 22/05/2025 20:31

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

BoredZelda · 22/05/2025 20:33

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

iliketheradio · 22/05/2025 20:34

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

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

Hard no from me.

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

SquirrelsInSpace · 22/05/2025 21:01

Ooh, nope.

Gustavo77 · 22/05/2025 21:04

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.

luckylavender · 22/05/2025 21:06

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

Thank you that's very kind 💖

I’ve reported that FB page and another mentioned on it for their vile content. I’m actually appalled content like this isn’t taken down off FB as soon as it appears. I know people who’ve been banned from FB for far less. This kind of hate needs to be challenged wherever it is seen imo.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 23/05/2025 16:32

Oh my goodness! No way would I want anything to do with anyone who’d post that stuff. They’ve done you a favour by posting though… at least you know to avoid them like the plague.

AutumnLover1989 · 23/05/2025 16:33

Drop them like a hot potato 😞

AutumnLover1989 · 23/05/2025 16:34

I'd probably tell them they've lost a customer because of this.

Poppyyoutwat · 23/05/2025 16:45

They are quite thick posting that when they are running a small business.

ItGhoul · 23/05/2025 17:09

I'm white and British born and I wouldn't let that person anywhere near my house.

Butterbly · 23/05/2025 17:11

I dropped my hairdresser for something similar

AlpacaMittens · 23/05/2025 17:12

100% wouldn't use them.

ThatDenimExpert · 23/05/2025 17:21

It depends what they meant by it. I can’t speak for them, but they may have meant to say that they oppose immigration changing British culture and opposing what they have seen about it in the news. They may feel strongly about the country changing and losing sight of its own values and traditions, which is also something that matters to me.
If that’s what they meant, it’s a badly worded post and I can see how it has come across the wrong way.
I don’t know why they’re using a pet sitting page to promote this, and I wouldn’t use them if I thought they were going to invite negativity into my life

Movinghouseatlast · 23/05/2025 17:33

I wouldn't have anyone in my house who openly advertised those views.

PicaK · 23/05/2025 17:36

I'm disgusted - and mortified as a white person that other white people do this. Sorry.
Find someone else and report her for hate speech to fb.

CarpetKnees · 23/05/2025 17:44

Like so many others on the thread, I wouldn't use them, and I too, am W/UK born.
