Cadbury: Kraft Foods Takeover?

[MrSquidman007]

Great...

Cadbury was formed over 80 years before Kraft! By a respectable man selling tea and coffee. It was then bought by a company formed by some fat American travelling cheese salesman?!

[tomchittock]

@MrSquidman007 Yep.. Pretty much...

@mcpcshowcaseHD I agre with you the only thing is the politicians dont serve us they serve their masters the corporations we are not important to them it will never change no matter who is in power you will be saying the same thing when the next party or leader is in place we the British people need to stand up for ourselves if we would just stand together

[tomchittock]

@mcpcshowcaseHD yeah, I don't really like labour either (not sure what happened to your latest comment though...)

@britpatRIOT100 yeah, I think you're right. The proposed compaignes never actually go through once the party is in power.

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I think it is completely unacceptable that an American company can use a Bank (RBS) 80%+ owned by the British taxpayer to buy a British Company which could "potentially' result in the loss of British Jobs.

I use the word potentially very loosely indeed. Kraft have said British jobs are safe so that'll mean they'll be gone as soon as the take over is complete.

Our current government is totally useless actually allowing this to happen. Role on polling day.

[tomchittock]

Yeah, I completely agree! Unemployment is sky-high as it is, without more jobs being lost because of the takeover.

Of course, I don't pay tax yet, as I am still at college, but either way, it won't help as the unemployment figure for 16-24 year olds is so high!

Thanks for commenting! :)

[britpatRIOT100]

@mcpcshowcaseHD I agree with everything you say except role on polling day, do you really think the next dickheads who come in will be any better, it never changes they always campaign on the word change and were always fooled it never changes, the working class a just shit on the shoe of the politicians

[ExportAli]

Crunchies and Wispas are epic.

[tomchittock]

yeah haha they really are :)

[planelover3640]

I live in the States, and I LOVE cadbury chocolate, those crunchie bars are so good! haha

[tomchittock]

haha I do too :D

[fuddy12345]

I don't care if they buy Cadbury.. As long as they still keep the Cadbury name on the chocolate. Kraft Chocolate would sound weird.

[tomchittock]

Yeah, I think they would have to keep the Cadbury name on it, but I just think that the new ownership would make it slightly different... :|

Thanks for commenting!

[britpatRIOT100]

@fuddy12345 you dont care you obviously dont understand where do you think the profits will be going after the takeover thats right America making our country less well off which will eventually lead to the destruction of our previously great country

[fuddy12345]

@britpatRIOT100 Cadbury doesn't own Britain. Therefore, If Cadbury gets taken over by Kraft, Britain really wont get that much of a hit. Cadbury is just another company in Britain... Nothing that major.

[britpatRIOT100]

I know cadburys sale wont make a massive difference but you being British should know of all the great companys this country has lost over the years car companys Bentley, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rover, Mini and thats just the cars google 50 reasons to fight Kraft and see 50 of the biggest british companys to be taken over and theres many more and better well known we have nothing left to sell wasn t heathrow sold too this is no different to foreigners sending money home

[fuddy12345]

@britpatRIOT100 I'm not British.

[triforceguy1]

I don't really care about the takeover, what makes Cadburys British is the fact that it was created in Britain

[tomchittock]

Good point. :P

But you really don't care if Kraft do eventually buy Cadbury? wow! That's kinda weird because all of the other British people I have asked have said that they don't want it to happen.

Thanks for commenting! :)

[triforceguy1]

Well, I'm not really a full British lol

My mum's American :D

[tomchittock]

ahhhh

I never knew that :P
