BBC News: Karl Marx - Monument vandalised for second time in two weeks
"Karl Marx's memorial in north London has been vandalised for the second time in two weeks.
The words "Doctrine of Hate" and "Architect of Genocide" are scrawled in red on the Grade I-listed grave in Highgate Cemetery.
This latest incident follows a "deliberate and sustained" hammer attack on 4 February that left the memorial badly damaged.
There have been no arrests in connection with either attack.
Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust said the German philosopher's memorial would "never be the same again" following the previous attack."
Previous attack reported here.
I don't recall the first attack even being on the TV news, while the second may have only been on the BBC London local news. Recent vandalism of the Bomb Command Memorial has certainly been more widely reported.
It's worth highlighting that the cemetery is not open to the public, except by fee-paying tours organised by the trust which owns it. This is quite a bone of contention in many circles, given the number of prominent burials and memorials in the grounds, including over 300 designated war graves.
Somewhat ironically, Alexander Litvinenko is also buried there, obviously deeper than usual, and in a lead-lined coffin.
