I took my 3 year old daughter around this factory and I remember being stunned that it was still British-owned. Not anymore. We can't seem to keep anything British nowadays. It doesn't affect me personally, but it still pisses me off every time I hear about another foreign takeover.

Its sad mate, there is one down the road from me. But atleast the workers get to keep their jobs.

it gets worse! apparently RBS are lending the money to Kraft for the takeover :mad: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8470776.stm

Nice! So WE, as taxpayers, are lending OUR money to an American takeover of a British company. I noticed that the government didn't have anything to say? Very odd. Apparently Kraft didn't guarantee that there would be no job losses :-(
