Should we boycott Dairy Milk?
Cadbury's new owner Kraft Foods has confirmed plans to move part of the business to Switzerland in a move which could cut its UK tax bill.

By switching a few key roles to Zurich, the US food giant is expected to pay less corporation tax, depriving the exchequer of millions of pounds.

...

UK corporation tax is levied at 28%, while rates at Kraft's European headquarters in Zurich begin at 15%.

1. Just try and get UK Uncut on the case
They've been targeting Vodafone, Topshop, Interbrew etc for tax avoidance of late. http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/

2. As a matter of interest, what have Interbrew done?
I thought they were Belgian anyway (now "Anheuser–Busch InBev") - they just own the odd British brand like Boddingtons.
