We have avoided Nestle products for 22 years - some big brands in there - Nescafe, Kitkat both number 1s in their big markets.
Nestle used to sell a baby milk formula in Africa. At first they would give it away free to mathers with new babies, until the moither stopped producing her own milk. Then Nestle use to charge a high fee for baby milk powder that they knew the mother would be desperate for.
Hoffman La Roche is another one - in the past the tried sending in conjunction with the Swiss Government an employee to prison who wanted to diclose fatal side effects of one of their drugs.
Tim Martin is not quite in that league.

I reaction to you sacrificing morals for cheap beer. I can't say a new low for you because your comments about more are else that of a bottom feeder. Remember that time you tried to pretend I had wished cancer on someone? That was your particular nadirA new low

"sacrificing morals for cheap beer"
FFS, these hyprocrites taking the moral high ground always make me laugh. If you are going to take that stance on one company, then you have to do it across the board. From eggs to energy, from vests to vehicles (including electric). Every time you use your fancy smart phone, you are sacrificing morals. Go and live on a desert island, wear a loin cloth out of leaves and go and forage for your food if you want to be a true moralist.
Voting tory, and then calling brexit supporters thick, and then talk about morals.

Nope wrong, that was way before Brexit.
Anyway if you knew anything about Economics you would know that currency fluctuations are a self fulfilling prophecy.
