Cant be much more than a week ago they said the British jobs were safe.They might have let the fuss die down a bit first, but I suppose global corporations just dont give a toss what anyone says or thinks.

I'm sorry, but didn't cadbury's originally  say they were going to close this plant ?
now Kraft have agreed - and this is viewed as bad why ??

I can say- Why don't they ALL KCUF OFF

Bourneville will close in the next few years...and production will shifted to eastern europe you can bet on that...

Cadbury were already building a new factory in Poland to replace the one just shut....

I worked for a brilliant little UK based company (40 people in it) soon as it was bought out by the americans they destroyed everything good about the company

I also did as well, until Oct. It won't be long & they'll shut the firm down & move production.
If Kraft do close all plants down here, i will never buy any Cadbury product again. I already don't buy any Kraft products. I hope all will follow too.

Very noble sentiment but pretty soon there won't be anything left for you to eat.

Its quite simple, stop buying anything made by Kraft. If this was France the whole place would be brought to a stand still but because were wishy washy brits we will take one up the gary glitter yet again and do nothing about it, and as an example look at fuel prices. I rest my case

It isn't just France. Most EU countries are still fiercely pro their own country and its products. As I have said before I cannot ever see the day that the Spanish allowed one of their companies to be bought by Johnny Foreigner. Similarly they do not stock produce on a wide scale from other countries in particular Britain. I once talked to a French stonemason about cheese. He was gobsmacked to find out that Britain produced cheese. you can't blame him as the nearest they get (and Spain) is Kerrygold cheese from Ireland. Otherwise it is just home produce.....

The Brits can't have a free market economy where anything goes and you can buy anything fromanywhere but crib when another country snaps up Britains heritage and then asset strips it.

I personally don't give a stuff about buying foreign crapproducts and think if it wasn't imported and was essential we would have to make it ourselves which would benefit the country in the long run and besides there's the internet, if you couldn't get it in the UK you could always import it yourself

Nobody gave a monkey's when Cadbury shut down profitable factories down in the UK!  :-?  :-?
