It turns out Marmite's owners the animal experimenting speciesists Unilever were very angry about this and got in the lawyers. Personally I don't see what they were moaning about I really don't see how you can further besmirch the reputation of a company already linked to cruel, pointless animal abuse for the next ingredient in their consumerist household product – but that's just me. Anyhow the up shot is that the BNP are going to have to pay Unilever a (big) undisclosed amount of cash after the racists wimped out of facing the multinational in court.
Rumours are that the BNP could be on the brink of bankruptcy over this – which is hilarious if true – but with the serious downside that the extremists at Unilever are set to benefit. Our job now is to bring Unilever trouble themselves, this does not mean bankrupting them it just means causing them to lose more than they gain from continuing to use animal tests. Unilever are in it for the money, if it's financially more profitable to not torment little creatures they will stop, so let's make it happen. It's time to bring down all oppression once and for all. Animal liberation, human rights!

Simple question:
If you had the choice between a human baby being killed or a bunny rabbit, what would you chose to do?

The act of Unilever has literally pushed the BNP over the edge and extremely close to financial ruin. At the most they're going to make 70,000 pounds out of it which is literally sod-all compared to their multi-billion annual turnover and won't really make much of a difference to their pockets. If Unilever were about to go bust and this saved them, it would be a completely difference argument but that is not the case. It's one of two scummy organisations down, instead of none of two.
Perhaps it is now down for people to think of innovative way to cost Unilver that money as a result of their allegiance to vivisection?
I understand where you're coming from, but I think you need to look at things in terms of the real world and economics, not just a scoped view of bad -v- bad.

I hate the BNP but I think they were in the right here

If multinational scum like Unilever can satirise the BNP in their adverts, surely the BNP is allowed to satirise them back?
I wouldn't cheer too hard for Unilever - I'm sure they couldn't care less about the BNP's politics - in fact it might even be good for them. They would just as soon do this to a more right-on organisation too.
Freedom of speech and the libel laws in this country are owned by the rich for their benefit only.
