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

That's awful and no wouldn't employ them. I'm white British but my DH isn't and we were recently on holiday with friends when the election results came out. I found out half of them had voted Reform UK which was incredibly uncomfortable. We have since gone low contact.

I am white and English and UK born. You can be proud of being English without posting shite like this. I’d look for someone else, OP.

BlackMountainGoat · 23/05/2025 21:42

What the fuck - no, I wouldn't.

hehehesorry · 23/05/2025 21:56

I'd use them happily.

F1LandoFan · 23/05/2025 22:48

I absolutely wouldn’t use them, and I’d tell them why and make sure they’re read it before I block them

SeaShellsSanctuary1 · 23/05/2025 23:18

I'd drop them like a stone.

In some ways these pages provide a good insight into the type of people you wish to part money with. When I employ trades, I have a quick scan of profiles and swiftly reject any that have posted this crap on their pages

"It's free speech innit".....yeah with consequences. Next

Not in a million years. You need to be able to actually TRUST the person you're entrusting your home and your pets with.

Well I'm Scottish, living in England. I assume I need to leave the country too? Or if I'm white am I acceptable to the likes of her?

If you've already spoken to her about using her services, I'd absolutely suggest you tell her you will never use her - and tell her why.

If you were just browsing, I'd just block and avoid.

No. Awful

Why? Hope it’s not because you agree with the sentiments.

It’s more likely that they just want to evoke responses on Mumsnet.

Oh my God, that’s terrible. I wouldn’t use them, no.
