BNP Leader challenges Unilever over Marmite image
British National Party leader, Nick Griffin, claims that a "joker" has amended the BNP political broadcast which features an image of a Marmite jar.
Defending their political broadcast on Thursday, Mr Griffin said: "The official broadcast contains no mention or images of Marmite at all. The clip shown last night on the BNP website is essentially the actual broadcast, but apparently one of the people to whom we had given the broadcast to review inserted the Marmite jars in reaction to the disgraceful smear advertising campaign being run by Unilever, which smeared and spoofed the BNP and its Euro 2009 TV broadcast."

They are saying Unilever "smeared and spoofed the BNP and its Euro 2009 TV broadcast" ?
