Break up these mega-corporations













Above:  I bought all my Easter chocolate from Lindt this year.  The taste is a lot smoother than Cadbury's.  When I had a piece of Cadbury chocolate the taste was chalky and over-sweet.

Interesting article in yesterday's Daily Telegraph about how the Kraft hostile takeover of Cadbury has not gone well.

Also in Bristol over the weekend there was a riot to prevent the opening of a new Tesco's store.  In an interview in today's Times the CEO of Tescos, Richard Brasher, says local people supported the store by shopping there.  Would they shop there if they knew the true cost to their community of this pernicious organisation?

Probably legislation is needed to break up these mega-corporations. 

We also need to give local people (everywhere) the final decision in planning applications via small scale referendums.
