We can comment on the Kraft takeover of Cadburys, but considering how we used to pat ourselves on the back when Lord Hanson bought US Companies, we should realise that capitalism doesn't work in our favour all of the time...:2 cents:

Hey, I am far from "capitalisms" biggest supporter and that quote to a certain extent is correct (especially when it's directed at the smaller business and the worker. Not so much when directed at the larger corps). But Cadbury's is not the first, nor will it be the last small company to be taken over by a larger one. That's just how the system works - smaller companies sell, larger ones buy, until we're left with nothing more than a handful of large corporations that monopolise the market. I don't think that's particularly how it should work. But this is the system we live in and have lived in for generations. It's not going to change.

It is good to show support, but other than voicing your distaste at the shareholders and to the buyers (and reading through this thread you and many others have) there really is nothing else that can be done.

To do so is to feed the greed of those involved. Not me, mate.

There's plenty of other things I can spend my cash on that isn't Cadbury produced... sorry should that be Kraft produced.

The Chinese will buy Kraft once Kraft buys Cadbury and the circle of life will be complete. Thank you Capitalism :hatsoff:

This is not what I meant by that statement. What was meant was that it is commendable for you to show support for the old brand (prior to this take over), in the sense that you feel a certain sense of distaste as to its current predicament which then in turn lead into the latter statement about voicing this distaste.

Amazing! How on earth a company that is in debt to approx £22 billion is allowed to do this is beyond me!

Oh well, I can take some comfort from the fact that American favourite, French's Mustard, is owned by the British Reckitt Benckiser Plc!! :tongue:
