How on earth did the BNP not realise using the marmite brand would be a breach of copyright?

OK, so they think it's satire so it's ok but clearly that is bollox.

can be seen here and you can see just how awful their agenda is.

As if they'll get to start or stop anything

Well yes we could add a [flyingpig] emoticon after all their pledges!

Post here in twenty year and tell me what you think of the BNP? At that point the two biggest parties will be a UK Party (derived from the BNP) and an Islamic party? You pick who you vote for then.

Growell you forgot to add the smiley to show you are joking.

So good I said it twice?

It's a calculated move. What they may have to pay to Marmite to apologise will be far outweighed by the publicity they get.

BelleDame - yes to feeling sick when I look at his ugly face. Not sure how much of it is down to what he looks like, or whether it is the knowledge of what he stands for.

Marmite should sue the arse off them and bankrupt the party.

I think his mind shapes his face. IYSWIM.

Yes, Growell because the Tories and the Liberals haven't been around for over 200 or so years, have they?

And, I think you'll find, the Muslim population in the UK is still a very small percentage of the overall so unless we all have a religious conversion I think we'll be ok.

I'd take a bit more salt with what the BNP are telling you...

Muslim population percentage of this year's reception class in primary school is rather larger than of the population as a whole.

I assume you can extrapolate what the future consequence of this would be.

..I can extrapolate that the percentage of Muslims in UK will become a slightly bigger percentage on top of the very small percentage it currently is.
That doesn't fit with your "taking over the country" type argument though does it.

"AFAIK you can use stills in news, satire or critic programming (on tv) without breaching copyright or having to pay shitloads" - no you can't if the packaging is copyright then the image belongs to Marmite as much as your car belongs to you. A stranger cannot just use your car for whatever they wish - they must pay to for the use of it and you can dictate what they can and can't use it for.

I'd like to think they used it because anyone with a decent enough brain to understand copyright law doesn't exist in the BNP hierarchy.

Even if I could stmoach any of their policies, how could you countenance such a bunch of idiotic bumblers running anything more difficult than an egg and spoon race?

Children who are visibly from Ethnic Minorities now, what, 25-30% of new births?

Yet even very recently we were told that the proportion of ethnic minorities in the population was very low.

There is now a significant Muslim population in the UK, which is much younger than average, much more fecund, and continues to add to its numbers via large-scale immigration.

Living in a secular muslim society will be no differnet for me living in a secular Christian society. I have lived in a scular muslim society - its really no different to the UK in any practical way.

If the UK becomes a radical religious muslim state in my lifetime then I shall just emigrate if it doesn't suit me - far better choice in my very humble opinion than voting for an incompetent bumbling party who are racist and sexist now.

"Yet even very recently we were told that the proportion of ethnic minorities in the population was very low".
Yes we were, because it's true!
Loving the "visibly" from ethnic minorities comment too. Wonder what that means.

The 2001 census results showed that 92% of the population identified themselves as White British. Less than 3% (2.7%) of the population identified themselves as Muslim.

Regarding birth rates, in 2009 it was at just over 1.9, with higher birth rates in those born outside of the UK - this rate falls towards the average with subsequent generations. Estimates suggest that the ethnic minority population may double in the next 50 years, so perhaps will reach 16% of the population, of which a large number will be have mixed ethnicity. If numbers remain fairly constant, then we might expect to see perhaps 6% of the population practicing Islam. In 50 years, not 20, and I really can't see that 6% supporting a major political party. In the same way it is bizarre to expect that the BNP, with it's 0.7% of the popular vote at the last national election to ever become more than a fringe party.

Just to add a thought:

Muslim does not = radical

just as

Irish did not = terrorist in the 70's and 80's

though if you read the papers or opened your mouth that was what you were told, often to your face Some of us have been here before!

Hope Marmite sues the ass off them and donates the money to community projects

Oh totally. Also I expect some of those who ticked the Muslim box are about as religiously committed as many of those who tick the Christian box (ie not at all).

One issue though Nooka, no illegal immigrants will have completed the census...
I still think we are centuries away from 'White British' becoming a minority though.
Nick Griffin = twonk of the highest order. Would rather have Marmite anyday

oh yes Id vote for marmite vs BNP if it was a two horse race.

Lol Kewcumber. Me too. I agree Jackstinin, although I wonder whether the number of illegal immigrants is anywhere near the sorts of numbers that are bandied around. Might be one reason for an amnesty.
