BNP website - a copy of Obama's?

Remember when the BNP ‘borrowed’ the faces of friendly ‘BNP voters’ from an online image database?

Except they weren’t friendly BNP voters. They were, mostly, Americans. And furious when they found out their image had been used.

Well, it’s happened again.

Take a close look at the two images of websites below. One is the homepage of www.barackobama.com – the website that aims to build “on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about an agenda of change.”

The other is the brand new homepage of bnp.org.uk.

Of course, it could be an extraordinary coincidence. But CentreRight points out that it’s not just the colour scheme that the BNP have filched.

Compare the format of the logo ‘Standing up for Great Britian’ with the arrangement of ‘Organising  for America’.

Compare the red ‘Donate’ button to the American ‘Donate Now’ one, the menu bars, the YouTube video in the right hand column…

The irony of a British party that excludes black people from its membership ripping off the website of America’s first black president is so great it defies expression.

British jobs for British people? Not, it appears, in the case of the BNP's graphic designers...
