Second attack on Karl Marx tomb in London's Highgate cemetery

The tomb of Karl Marx in London’s Highgate cemetery has been vandalised for the second time in a fortnight.

In bright red paint, the words “Doctrine of Hate”, “Architect of Genocide” and “Memorial to Bolshevik Holocaust” were daubed on the grave of the German philosopher.
