Was Johnson telling the truth when he said he liked Marmite?
The Marmite Defence League has raised concerns about a statement in a campaign video by Tory leader Johnson about whether or not he likes Marmite.
The video aired on Tuesday consists of a series of short questions to Johnson and his answers.
Johnson is prompted ‘Marmite’ to which he replies ‘yes’ quite emphatically
The Marmite Defence League says Johnson’s support could significantly hits sales of Marmite but there is another possibility:
MDL spokesperson Keith Flett, Johnson is a notorious liar. Was he telling the truth about liking Marmite?
Where we stand on Marmite
Marmite is a natural product deriving from brewer’s yeast. It is historically a by-product of brewing
It was ‘invented’ by a German scientist Justus von Liebig
Originally Marmite was derived from the Bass brewery in Burton on Trent.
Marmite is salty but also has some health enhancing elements to it including vitamins.
Its recent marketing focuses on a ‘love it or hate it’ element to Marmite, and it is a ‘which side are you on’ food.
This being Johnson the default assumption has to be that he is lying (also putting it down as yet another of his innumerable lies enables me to go on eating marmite with a clear conscience).
