I am sure I am not the only one who is disgusted to see York-based company Nestl taking Ethiopia to court to claim $6 million over a company they lost to Ethiopian nationalisation in 1975.

In the first six months of this year, Nestle made profits of $3.9 billion, yet they feel they have to take to court one of the poorest countries in the world whose population are again suffering from famine.
