The BNP latest campaigning video, intended to be their Party Election Broadcast, has been withdrawn due its use of a picture of a jar of marmite superimposed in the top left hand corner of the screen.

A spokesman for Marmite said:
”It has been brought to our attention that the British National Party has included a Marmite jar in a political broadcast shown currently online.

"We want to make it absolutely clear that Marmite did not give the BNP permission to use a pack shot of our product in their broadcast. Neither Marmite nor any other Unilever brand are aligned to any political party.

"We are currently initiating injunction proceedings against the BNP to remove the Marmite jar from the online broadcast and prevent them from using it in future.”
