A Leeds takeaway owner says he’s been receiving “death threats” after sharing an image of Madeleine McCann to promote his business for Mother’s Day.
Joe Scholey, 29, who owns The Otley Burger Company, cracked a ‘joke’ on social media about the missing girl and her mum Kate McCann. Along with pictures of the pair, the post said: “With burgers this good, you’ll leave your kids at home. What’s the worst that could happen [sic] Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there.”
The post split audiences on Facebook. People have called it “unacceptable”, “absolutely disgusting”, along with calls for the burger-joint to be shut down. Whereas others have called it a “bit of fun”, even claiming McCann's parent didn’t deserve sympathy.
