It looks like Kraft sincerely intended to keep the UK plant open, until they learned that the previous Cadbury management had already invested millions in Poland. So blame the dhead Cadbury managment, a brilliant move now that the pound is much weaker!

Thanks for that. So, the management had made moves that were not revealed during the purchase negotiations?

And, if you read the news it confirms as I said before. A debt laden US company.

Being a Fortune 500 member does NOT exempt you from this disease.

Some changes needed in UK law I think. Sooner the better.

Kraft is debt laden? Please post a link so we can see what you mean.

Sixth paragraph down. Best I can find right now. I'll dig out some of the financial reports I read a few weeks ago when I get time.

Learn how to link and I will give it a try. Until then, what is your objection? There are US companies that have been purchased by larger British operations; should I b!tch about those?

What, I get a cheeky answer because I didn't link it? DOes the fact you have to cut and paste make it any less true?

My, what a pleasant chap you are. Thanks for the attitude. It means I don't have to take notice of anything you post from now on.

Seems the Cadbury European HQ here in CH is closing down.

How many staff do Cadbury have?

This says 54,000, Wikipedia says 71,000, but other media reports say 6,000 "UK staff".

So, as I asked, should I b!tch about US companies bought by British ones?? As was pointed out by another poster, Cadbury management had made some moves involving Poland that caused the closing decision.
