I Love Cadbury's Chocolate

Can the UK Government intervene and buy it back from the USA. Why did we ever let it go. What happened to our chunky square bars? I miss the tinfoil wrapper. 馃槙 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5431333/NHS-bans-Cadbury-bars-battle-greedy-giant.html

@SW-User In a way deemed unethical and greedy by another institution and being British the NHS has sent it's butler to show Cadbury to the door. Long live the queen.

@SW-User There is making money, and then there is pure greed...

@Quizzical lets be honest the NHS food choices are complete crap so this can only be a good thing. I was visiting a family member on a cardiac specialist ward and all on offer was saturated fat or junk food. It was appalling. We don鈥檛 need crap in our hospitals-outside people can make their own choices

@SW-User I can't argue with that. It's all the vending machines are full of, fats and sugars.

And hospital meals are nothing impressive either...

@Quizzical it鈥檚 laughable really -surely it鈥檚 a chance to spend money educating people while they鈥檙e in there to alleviate the pressure on the NHS when they return?? I actually thought cardiac wards might be different but turns out not. Waste of time.

@SW-User They give a lot of lip service to 'preventative' medicine but practice very little of it.

That said, I wouldn't ever want to be without them 馃榿
SW-User
@Quizzical me neither. I think we will lose it if we don鈥檛 stop swimming frantically to get through today rather than have some long term strategies. End up like America-only the rich can afford healthcare.

@SW-User That's the Conservative plan though, a two tier health system, one for them and their cronies and pretty much bugger all for the rest of us.

They've never really supported the NHS as it was a Labour idea...
SW-User
@Quizzical shame Labour can鈥檛 seem to get their act together to take advantage of such a weak government really. Such a waste of an opportunity.

I'm hoping that the Labour party can actually unify themselves before the next election, to give themselves a chance of getting in. They aren't perfect by a long chalk but at least they present an image of caring for people (unlike the Tories), I'd like to see them given a chance at least to try and protect the NHS, if for nothing else.

@GeniUs I don鈥檛 know..Corbyn seems to have the right ethics and ideas for the radical change people want but seems to lack the leadership needed to drive it through. Time will tell I guess.
GeniUs56-60, M
I think he's good as a leader but his policies need questioning for example, if he spends hundreds of millions of pounds setting up state businesses how will he ensure they remain public once he leaves office? It's a good idea but I fear will be sold as soon as he isn't there to maintain it.
