ANTI-RACISM campaigners have protested against McDonald’s after one of its branches in London refused to serve a woman because she was wearing a hijab.

Islington Stand Up To Racism gathered outside the branch in Seven Sisters Road on Saturday after the 19-year-old student, who asked not to be named, was repeatedly told by a security guard to remove her hijab before entering on Thursday.

The woman, who is a British Muslim of Middle Eastern descent, had filmed the security guard, asking him to admit that it was because of her hijab. He replied: “It’s just a matter of taking it off.”
