For Marmite it's a love/hate thing, not quite the same for the far-right British National Party, turns out the makers of Marmite is not happy.
Unilever (the makers of Marmite) are threatening legal action against the BNP for using the jar of yeast extract on their web version of their election broadcast without permission. The party said that it was a spoof, but claimed that they were not responsible for the product placement. Fortunately, the jar was not included in the main broadcast (well, it has to comply with Ofcom guidelines)
