I was saddened last year to hear how Cadbury’s had been left to be swallowed up by Kraft in a mega chocolate takeover. Clearly the business policies of the last Labour Government was anything goes – even the US would’nt be that laissez faire about such takeovers.

This disappointment turned to anger over the weekend when I read that Kraft is planning to rearrange asset ownership so that the Cadbury brand will be owned from Swizterland side stepping circa £200M of yearly UK taxes. This also puts pressures on economies to be out compete each other on ever lower taxation and public spending – a world of the lowest possible denominator.

For me this means I’ve stopped eating Cadbury chocolate. As Cadbury own Green & Blacks I’ve also stopped eating their chocolate. IF you think not paying UK corporation taxes through such accountancy and legal shenanigans – then don’t eat their stuff. It’s made doubly worse by Nestle being Cadbury’s main competitor and Swiss based. So this boycott generally means no more chocolate. Anyojne who knows me this is a real sacrifice!

Jon this boycott it might also do me, you and the nation some good!
