When the huge US "food" corporation Kraft launched an aggressive takeover of Cadbury's they promised to keep the Keynsham plant open. However a couple of days after taking it over they announced it would be closed -  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10166241

Job losses from the shutdown will eventually total 400. Kraft said it would not be officially marking the end of the Somerdale plant, which has been open since 1919.

"There won't be any ceremony to mark the final bar coming off the line," said a statement from the company.

"It would be very hard to define what is the final bar - we make hundreds at a time and if it's near the end of a production run we will not know which bars end up as suitable for distribution."

Keynsham resident Amoree Radford, who led the Save Cadbury's Campaign, said she was disappointed there would be no official ceremony.

"Kraft are not going to mark anything because they have no reason - they've got no respect for the employees or the Cadbury's workers," she said.

Of course we shouldn't be surprised at the blatant lying and disregard for people shown by Kraft. It seems to be a trait of US corporations that they expect they can lie with impunity.

Not only US corporations either. Social activists in India who have been protesting Vodafone are now looking at Kraft -  http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE7031F720110104
