McDonald's boss on abuse claims: 'I don't want to talk about the past'

The boss of McDonald's UK and Ireland has said she "doesn't want to talk about the past" when asked about allegations of abuse at the fast-food chain.

Lauren Schultz told the BBC what had happened in recent years was "unacceptable" but said "we have drawn a line under it".

A BBC investigation in 2023 heard from more than 100 McDonald's workers in the UK claiming they faced a toxic culture of sexual assault, harassment, racism, and bullying. Last year, staff said they still faced sexual abuse and harassment.

Going bankrupt is a great way to avoid such questions.

And conveniently happens when you refuse to show customers. How you plan to ensure abuse stops.

Wait, that's a thing we can do? I wonder if the missus can write off her student loan like that.
