Karl Marx memorial in Highgate cemetery 'will never be the same again' after vandals attacked it with a hammer
A 'deliberate and sustained' attack was perpetuated on the Grade I monument
The damage was discovered on Monday evening and police were called
Karl Marx was buried in Highgate after he died in London in 1883
He is considered the Father of Communism - an abhorrent ideology to many
A
memorial to the Father of Communism - Karl Marx - has been attacked with
a hammer and 'will never be the same again', a charity has said.
The
marble plaque at Highgate cemetery which carries Marx's name, along
with his wife and grandson, had been chipped by a blunt instrument
likely to have been a hammer.
The Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, who run the cemetery in north London, said the monument was hit over the weekend in what looked like 'a deliberate attack on the memory of Karl Marx himself'.

Marx was buried together with
his wife by their friends in Highgate Cemetery, the couple were
re-interred to a more prominent site in the graveyard in 1954 to honour
Marx's historical significance
Ian Dungavell, the trust's chief
executive, said: 'His name has been singled out, although the person
wasn't particularly coordinated.'
The
'deliberate and sustained attack' on the Grade I-listed monument, which
puts it on a par with the most important buildings in the country, was
'very upsetting', he said.
'It will never be the same again, and will bear those battle scars for the future.

Visitors at the bust of Marx which has stood above his grave since 1954
'It's already scarred with traces of paint and previous damage.
'I'm really cross about it because it's a particularly inarticulate form of protest and it's not going to win any fans.
'On a human level, I'm upset when anyone destroys a grave. To do something so mindless is particularly upsetting.'
The history of the marble plaque was 'quite complicated', Mr Dungavell added.
It
was first used on the grave of Marx's wife Jenny von Westphalen in 1881
and was moved when the remains of Marx and his wife were exhumed and
re-interred in a more prominent location in the cemetery in 1954.
The original grave was 'not felt to be a suitable marker for someone of such international significance'.
The
monument is owned by the Marx Grave Trust, which is represented by the
Marx Memorial Library in Clerkenwell, which will make any decisions
about future repairs, Mr Dungavell said.
But he added that the monument's Grade I-listing means 'you don't rush in to do these things quickly'.

'Workers of All Lands Unite':
Marx wrote 'The Communist Manifesto' and is considered to be a hero to
many for his ground-breaking theory of sociology and economics
'We will be seeking specialist advice.'
A
Met Police spokesman said: 'Police were called at 17.12 on Monday
February 4 to reports of criminal damage to a memorial in Highgate
Cemetery, N6. No arrests have been made.
'Initial
inquiries have been completed and at this stage the investigation has
been closed. If any further information comes to light, this will be
investigated accordingly.'
NWN : oh dear ! It hasn't been whacked for quite a few years.
NI 'backstop' being used to 'stop' Brexit
The issue of a so called 'backstop' is being used to stop the implementation of a proper 'Brexit' . That can be the only reason why a so called 'backstop' is being made a central stumbling block according to the Theresa May regime.
As shown above when campaigning in the Referedum, May was and remains a confirmed pro- Big business 'Remainer'.
Especially the Rothschilds. As it was they, who gave her her first major job in banking after graduating in Geography . Also a big job within the Bank of England.
I have a Bream !

'You are special': Meghan sends personal messages of support to sex
workers - written on BANANAS - as she and Harry make food parcels during
charity visit
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex braved the chilly weather to visit Bristol for a joint official engagement
Meghan, 37, wore Oscar de la Renta joining Prince Harry, 34, for a tour of the city's cultural history on Friday
The pregnant duchess visited the Bristol Old Vic, the oldest working theatre in the English speaking world
She then visited One25, a charity helping female workers in the sex industry and penned messages on fruit
The final visit of the day will be to Empire Fighting Chance, helping young people's lives through boxing
Their visit was slightly delayed due to the weather, however aides said they were determined to be there
Meghan
Markle was seen writing empowering messages on fruit as she visited
One25, a charity helping female workers in the sex industry, during a
busy day of engagements with Prince Harry in Bristol on Friday.
The
stop came after Harry and Meghan visited Bristol's Old Vic Theatre
following a delayed start due to the plummeting temperatures earlier in
the day, and before they stopped off at Empire Fighting Chance in
Easton, a charity which uses boxing to support children.
Meghan
wore a dark ensemble for the visit, warding off the cold in a William
Vintage woolly coat and a printed £1,400 Oscar de la Renta dress, and
injecting a splash of colour in £530 Sarah Flint 'Marina' suede olive
knee-high boots, leaving her blow-dried hair down in soft curls for the
occasion.
The pregnant duchess, 37,
was seen penning notes of support on bananas which will be distributed
in charity food bags for sex workers on the streets of Bristol.
The
royal made the unusual gesture as she and Prince Harry met a former
prostitute at the charity helping sex workers who have recently left the
streets.
In an engagement that saw the
couple facing life at its rawest, they heard how the charity outreach
vans will deliver food, condoms, advice and even blankets and hot water
bottles to workers on the street.

Ugandan mother becomes first person in Britain to be convicted of
FGM for mutilating her daughter, three, as her bizarre witchcraft kit
including a cow's TONGUE and frozen limes is revealed
Mother living in Walthamstow brought in 'witch' to carry out sickening surgery
She was caught after the girl was hospitalised by the wounds she sustained
Mother attempted to use witchcraft to silence witnesses and stop police
She cries in the dock as she becomes the first person convicted under FGM laws
The
mother of a three-year-old girl has become the first person to be found
guilty of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the UK.
The
girl's Ugandan mother was prosecuted under FGM laws after using a
'witch' to help her carry out the surgery at her home in Walthamstow,
east London.
The girl, now five, told police she was pinned down while a woman they called a witch mutilated her.
The
girl's Ghanaian father, 43, was also prosecuted but was cleared of all
charges at the Old Bailey today. Neither parent can be named for legal
reasons.

A Ugandan
mother who became the first person convicted under FGM laws wrote
people's names inside limes, which she froze, in a bid to use witchcraft
to stop them reporting her
+8
Her freezer containers two ox
tongues with screws embedded in them aimed at silencing police, social
workers, officers and lawyers in the case
The
court has heard how the mutilation went wrong and emergency services
were called. They were told the girl had fallen, but a surgeon found
three separate sites of injury and no bruising to indicate a fall.
The
girl was told to say she had injured herself on a cupboard door after
climbing on to a work surface to get biscuits when she was interviewed
by social workers, the Old Bailey heard.
When
officers searched the mother's home in east London, they found cows'
tongues and evidence of spells and curses in the freezer, the jury
heard.
Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC
said the mother had an interest in witchcraft. Her spells targeted
social workers, police in the case and even the Director of Public
Prosecutions, Alison Saunders.
Describing the items found in the
kitchen freezer, she said: 'Two cow tongues, they were bound in wire
with nails and a small blunt knife also embedded in them, 40 limes were
found and other fruit which when opened contained pieces of paper with
names on them. These people were to 'shut up' and 'freeze their
mouths'.'
The mother, who is a
convicted benefits cheat, had even taken a picture of her handiwork -
and sent it to a prospective boyfriend in Africa.
She wept in the dock today as she was found guilty of the charge.
Judge
Mrs Justice Whipple warned of a 'lengthy' jail term as she remanded the
woman into custody ahead of sentencing on March 8.

The woman had written messages placed inside frozen limes to try to silence her enemies

She hoped the nails hammered into the frozen cow's tongue would freeze their mouths
Giving
evidence, the mother had maintained her account of an accidental injury
and told jurors: 'It's a big accusation. Someone who would cut a
child's private parts, they're not human. I'm not like that.'
The law on FGM
Female
genital mutilation has been a specific offence in the UK since the
Prohibition of Female Circumcision Act 1985. The 1985 Act was replaced
by the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003.
It now includes assisting and taking children abroad to be cut.
There
have been just three other trials involving FGM - two in London and one
in Bristol - which all ended in acquittals while some 298 prevention
orders have been put in place to safeguard children at risk.
Carrying out FGM currently carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
The father denied having an interest in 'voodoo' or 'witchcraft' and claimed he was outside when his daughter was hurt.
However,
the court heard FGM would need more than one person to do it, although
police have not identified anyone else in the case.
The father told jurors he accepted his partner's explanation at first but now accepted she had been cut.
Detective
Chief Inspector Ian Baker, of the Met's child abuse and sexual offences
command, said: 'We cannot lose sight this is a case about a very young
girl who was subjected to horrific abuse at the hands of two defendants,
her parents.
'I would like to
acknowledge her bravery since her ordeal and I'm pleased to say she has
made a very good recovery and been placed with another family.'
Mr
Baker refused to rule out the involvement of a third party in the
Walthamstow case but said investigators found no evidence to present at
court.

The mother claimed the girl had slipped onto this cupboard door while trying to get cookies

But the youngster's injuries were not consistent with such a fall, the Old Bailey heard
More than 5,000 new FGM cases a year in UK, stats suggest
Figures produced by the NHS in 2017 suggested there may be more than 5,000 new victims of FGM in the UK each year.
NHS Digital produced stats of cases which were spotted by nurses or doctors around the country.
Around half of the recorded cases were in London, with a third involving girls or women born in Somalia.
It is thought the majority of cases involved mutilation abroad.
Home
Secretary Sajid Javid said: 'FGM is a sickening form of child abuse
that leaves innocent young victims with physical and emotional scars
that last a lifetime.'
He added: 'Let
me be clear, we will not tolerate FGM and not rest until perpetrators of
this horrific crime are brought to justice.'
Deputy
chief crown prosecutor Lynette Woodrow said: 'We can only imagine how
much pain this vulnerable young girl suffered and how terrified she was.
'A three-year-old has no power to resist or fight back.
'Her mother then coached her to lie to the police so she wouldn't get caught but this ultimately failed.
'We will not hesitate to prosecute those who commit this sickening offence.'
+8
The woman was living in Walthamstow, east London, when she organised the mutilation
Mayor
of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: 'Today's landmark conviction sends a
clear message to those who practice this barbaric act that it will no
longer go unpunished.
'Every woman and girl should be safe - and City Hall will continue to work with partners to end this abhorrent practice.'
National
Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) lead for FGM, Commander Ivan Balhatchet,
said FGM has 'no place in a civilised society' and appealled to anyone
who knows where it is taking place to come forward.
He
added: 'We have always been clear that prosecutions alone will not stop
this abuse, however this guilty verdict sends a strong message that
police will make every effort possible to pursue those committing this
heinous crime.
'This is the first
successful prosecution for FGM in the UK and it reinforces our
commitment to work with health, education, social care, affected
communities and others to do more. '

The case came to light after a surgeon at Whipps Cross Hospital (pictured) concluded the child had been cut with a scalpel
Leethen Bartholomew head of children's charity Barnardo's praised the victim for assisting the investigation.
He
said: 'The effects of female genital mutilation have a lifelong impact
on survivors both physically and psychologically, so it is vital support
is in place for her for as long as she needs it.
'I
hope today's verdict serves as a warning to those considering having
FGM carried out on their daughter or other family member or taking her
abroad to do so.
'It is illegal and
the police and the Crown Prosecution Service will do everything in their
power to track down and bring to justice anyone who carries out FGM.'
Import third world then we get third world practices here. In interviews today, there seems to be evidence of people 'turning a blind eye' to these practices. No doubt due to the usual 'practice' of authorities doing anything to avoid the magic powerful word of being labelled 'RACIST' . Now what other now common practice nationwide do we know, where this very attitude has been used by certain ethnic groups to commit bestial crimes and to get away with that law breaking due to authorities 'turning a blind eye' ?
