Apparently about 60% of the population use MacDonalds regurlary (AI stat) even though it is still a place where young women are not safe.

Reviving this thread as the new CEO this morning 'does not want to talk about the past'. Not fit to hold the post if that is the response.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

Yep - heard her on Radio 4 this morning- it was embarrassing- it could have been a skit from The Thick of It - BUT this is about safety of children and young people - to not address it properly is shameful

A clip of this has just turned up on my news feed.

Your would think a company as big as McDonald's would have worked out a more empathitic position that this.

How sad she would think this okay.

But worse for those who did suffer.

Anyone know what radio 4 programme this was on - I’m trying to find it on sounds

thanks

If you play the video clip it says The Today Programme.

Thanks

How very disappointing- another woman with power who wants to dismiss women’s suffering caused by the organisation she now heads. She doesn’t have to take responsibility for it (obviously) but surely she could facilitate some work to address it and stop it continuing?

She’s made the mistake of thinking she can make this go away by ignoring it. I don’t think it’s going to go away and will just become a stain on her reputation as well.
