Got to love Marmite for that!

Thank you Marmite for ending a party of racist biggots.

I'm almost tempted to go and buy a jar of Marmite now, just to say "thanks"

Didnt the Polish Spitfire foul-up also cost them a heap of cash too?

Don't get it

Unless its a play at the BNP going bankrupt and having to collect debts from OcUk hinting at OcUk being part of the BNP :confused:

I think this is great in two way.

1. The BNP are (soon to be) bankrupt.

2. Nobody needed to intervene and they weren't "muted" by government or anything.

Effectively this is a victory for free speech. The fact they were allowed to exist, and that they have fallen on their own arses because nobody cares about them.

They used images and such from Marmite without permission for their advertising campaign where they compared themselves to Marmite (Love us or hate us type thing)

I don't think it was a love/hate thing - I think it was a more a "quintissentially British" type of thing.

Funnily enough, Marmite didn't want to be associated with a bunch of racist xenophobes.

Oh, in that case my bad, I thought they went with the love to hate us thing.

Although surely this will just mean a rise in sillyness like the EDL?

i don't think so, I think the bnp people were just the ones can't be bothered to do any of the EDL style stuff.

It is a victory for free speech in a way yet the argument then becomes that the deck was stacked against them because it's only those who are relatively wealthy who can afford to stay in the political process - is it really democracy when it's only available to those with sufficient resources?

I'll not be crying into my pillow tonight at the thought of the BNP ceasing to exist as a political party but they were certainly handy in some ways and where you can see such racism or xenophobia it's easier to combat/deal with than when it is underground so to speak. They provided a focal point for pretty much all sides of the argument which is why I suggest they had their uses.

Odd, as I wasn't aware we use comma's in finance in this country? (and certainly not a decimal point). How can we possibly take that article as truth if it's so badly edited and not even using a consistent format

*facepalm*

all we need to do is get rid of Boris Johnson and the comedy of Britain’s political system is dead....
