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.

This vry similar to the logo used by Birmingham City Council,Lets hope that the City takes action!
The Conservatives Union Flag/tree logo wasn’t widely reported at the time, but in itself seems to borrow heavily from the Ulster Unionist Party:

The tree, the heart and Northern Ireland all take on a very similar roundish, but irregular, shape: See the UUP logo here – http://www.uup.org/

Same Party.
It makes it look as if somebody’s just won Britain on a scratch card.
The BNP have successfully fought of the race stasi and have obviously thought of a new logo to celebrate it. All the very best to them. I think that a lot of folk will be impressed by the new logo and will be drawn to all the good that it represents in the best of being British. That includes “…the British…” as they have now be recognised as a nationality by the ‘Equalities’ Kommission. And about time too.
Rev you sound like a fucking idiot, the “Kommission”? Stasi? Quite a generalisation don’t you think?
