Spot the difference: BNP steal Conservative logo in party rebrand

The nation’s foremost bunch of racists are now extending their franchise to plagiarism – essentially stealing the Conservatives’ logo. The new livery forms part of a broader rebranding for the far right party, which will also drop use of the BNP acronym in official literature.
British National Party leader Nick Griffin has unveiled the party’s new official logo, a Union flag emblazoned heart with the party’s name, on the first official day of the party’s annual conference in the East Midlands.

“This logo will illustrate exactly what this party is about,” Mr Griffin told the 200-strong conference.
A brush-effect Union Jack logo. Where have we seen that before?

Spot the difference? The Union Jack version of the Conservatives'
2006 tree logo appears to have been appropriated by the BNP

The BNP have already spent up to £170,000 settling a lawsuit with Unilever after the party used a Marmite jar in a party political broadcast.

With this latest cock up Griffenführer may well have another court case on his hands.

UPDATE: As a reader points out in the comments, calling Barack Obama an “Afrocentrist racist bigot” didn’t stop the BNP from stealing his website design earlier in the year.

I wonder what the Pakistani Birthday party, that were one of the other groups attending the 3* venue (not 4 *, as promised) in the East Midlands city of Leicester (Not South Derbyshire, as promised) thought of the re-brand?

Ahhh. the list could go on....

Failure at the ballot box (Not success, as promised)

Finanical ruin (Not stability, as promised)

A shattered, backstabbing party (Not unity, as promised)

Titter....... now we will have to tackle the lager louts of the EDL on the street, as the BNP sails its burning viking ship into the depths of Valhallah, where cyclops gets to snog Adolf....

A bit of pay back for the Conservatives stealing the NF torch logo in the mid-80's, a few of us have looooooooong memories!
