Cadbury Deal - boooo

[theguvnor]

Has anybody realised that the bloke who turns up in the red toast masters outfit outside british companies that are about to get taken over by a foreign company or closed is the angel of doom? Wouldn't want to be on a ferry with that bloke.

 

Then they go round nicking all the capital letters and full stops!

Very good mike LOL.

There was a rumour circulating that the Shanghai Chocolate Company were expected to make an better offer. However, it turned out to be Chinese Wispas.

So is right, a US company borrows most of the money from a bank that we as tax payers bailed out only to buy Cadbury and probable send production overseas, that means we get stuffed in both directions

The problem is that here the shareholder is king. The national interest and that of the employees is of no account.

I predict that almost all the Cadbury installations in this country will be run down within 10 years.

What we need is a nationalist government, like France, that will defend its companies and workers.

It's a shame to be loosing such a well know, historical brand to another corporate giant but as we all know on this forum, being business owners and entrepreneurs ourselves, business is business and when money is involved morals tend to fly out of the window. Lets just hope we don't loose the brand all together, we still want to see the dairy milk on the shelves in years to come

Kraft only want the name!!!!!

Kraft only want the name!!!!!

but without the product..they'll fail...buy Cadbury, you expect Cadbury..not american production.

we need a government that leans more towards National Manufacturing Protection...we still need international trade however, it buys us certain benefits.

Britain should return to its position as a world leader in science and manufacturing techniques, we cannot compete on value but we can compete on experience, investment, education and history.

i really dont see where the government is going with this though, more jobs out of the window, i dont see what the grand plan is...are they hoping to whore us out to america permanently? they already have unlimited access to UK ports, airports and certain military facilities (thanks to us begging them a few decades ago for some help 'cos we ran out of dosh).

yeah they'll close all plants in the UK over the next few months, i am surprised at the speed of the U Turn however, they've massively over spent on buying Cadbury, it was never worth as much as they paid for it and unless they shed workers and factories fast the whole of Kraft will be dragged down the plughole.

they've taken out a huge loan haven't they? something near the billions of pounds to secure the take over?

imagine the interest on that.

Well yes they did take out a huge loan Esk, the ironic point i'm getting at is we (British Tax Payer) loaned them the money! lol

That was a sarcastic lol btw.

I know the scots hate the english, do you think this is a veiled attack on England?

I know i have posted this somewhere before, but i really fail to see the advantage to this nation though state owned bank lending money to a foriegn company to buy one of the nations own business's. Then gradually shut each factory down, killling local economies, making workers redundant.
At a time when employment is high, is this the one eye'd goblins way of screwing this country over before he finally gets voted out?
Whats the magic word to stop him, rumplestilskin?

 

[Esk247]

one gets the feeling Gordon Browns aims are very much short-term e.g. sell sell sell today and let tomorrow look after itself under another party. He knows he won't win the election in the current state of affairs, the government is in tatters on the democratic front, he's switched away from manufacturing (Cadbury) to the city again..a british bank supplying funds to buy out a british manufacturer, manufacturing plant closes but banking jobs are secured by the loans taken out to bring the manufacturing plant down.

Is this not also what the Tories did?

At the end of the day who do you vote for, they are all under another brand, but seem to be the same thieving fellows (for the want of a stronger word) at the end of the day.
all politicians look out for themselves at the end of the day.
As for us mere mortals left with the crap to clean up we are silenced with threats of being non pc etc.
not just in this case of course, but you get the general idea

Dover to the French next

Shhhhhhhhhh, don't give him idea's!

No serious read it last week, the council of nord pas de calais want it for £500 million i think

Thatcher sold off the family silver all in the name of the "free market" The french and germans now generate our power and are ripping us all off.

She broke the miners and the back of the people and we've rolled over ever since.

Now we are selling off dover to the french "sac le bluer" we would never be allowed to own anything like this. There would be uproar. The french stand up for themselves, we don't.

Its sad about Cadbury's but this goverment won't do anything it's too late. They've bailed out the bankers and broke the bank in doing it.

Now we live on IOU's to the "free markets".

We need a revolution in this country, but I think it will end up being more of the same. Markist Labour creating non-jobs with all the decent workers paying for it.

again..like i say..short-term money making, long-term failure. Brown has only ever been interested in TODAY and not the more important what the hell happens TOMORROW.

We need a party that can project ideas over a 10 year period, showing progress year on year. We actually need a national product to export as well, i haven't checked the latest import/export figures but i'm sure it was a fact that we now import more than we export..thats crackers..thats like continually loaning money from the bank when you're job doesn't pay enough to clear the balance.

 

[easyasit]

The problem is, i dont think neither political party thats including Labour, Conservative, or Lib Dems has the minerals to sort this country out.

This is why i will be voting for "none of the above"
We need a party with teeth.

I wonder that with all the business brains on here, we raise things for foriegn appeals like Haiti etc.
Could be jointly start another politcal party?

Prob me being silly now.

btw. is it snowing where you are?
