I'm with Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown on this. Cadbury is an iconic brand of wonderful chocolate that is proudly British. The shareholders' interest is important, but not all-important. I would have been very doubtful about Hershey and I am doubtful that Kraft can add anything to Cadbury and the Americans may do harm. And, besides, as a Cambridgeshire man, I cannot forget the company's association with Chivers Hartley at Histon.
