The art of carving the perfect statue is clearly a difficult one to nail, even for the most talented and professional of sculptors.
This week The Big Issue revealed pictures of a long-awaited resemblance of England captain Harry Kane commissioned by Waltham Forest Council.
But the reaction to the £7,200 statue did not quite go down as anticipated, as fans were quick to pronounce it the ‘stuff of nightmares’.
One asked: ‘Does any professional footballer have a decent statue? Why
Brad Pitt appeared to hit back last night after his adopted son branded the Hollywood actor a ‘world class a**hole’ and ‘f***ing awful human’ in an explosive Instagram post.
Pax Jolie-Pitt, 19, called his father a ‘terrible and despicable person’ who makes his four youngest children ‘tremble in fear’ in an explosive rant posted to social media for Father’s Day 2020.
Pax posted the broadside at Pitt to the stories section of his private Instagram account when he was 16,
Angry locals of a tiny Cornish town that banned second homes have blasted the arrival of a huge cruise ship that increased the local population by 50 per cent for the day.
The 58,000 ton Spirit of Adventure cruise ship, operated by Saga Cruises, stopped in Fowey, Cornwall, on Friday.
The 775ft-long cruise ship weighing nearly 60,000 tonnes is the longest and heaviest ever to dock in Fowey, according to harbourmaster Paul Thomas.

Over the past eight years or so, I’ve been obsessed with two questions. The first is: Why have Americans become so sad? The rising rates of depression have been well publicized, as have the rising deaths of despair from drugs, alcohol, and suicide. But other statistics are similarly troubling. The percentage of people who say they don’t have close friends has increased fourfold since 1990. The share of Americans ages 25 to 54 who weren’t married or living with
We keep hearing that Hastings, on the south coast, is on a roll. It’s even been described as the ‘new Brighton’. A friend, who moved there not so long ago, loves the place but has often said that what it lacks is a good hotel.
Then I received an email from her saying that Vive had opened near the station in a grotty part of town but that
This is madness. Rooms at Lost Property — of which there are 145 — cost upwards of £200 without breakfast and most are priced around £400. A great number of these rooms, in whatever category, have frosted windows.

On Tuesday, two days ago, Twitter slapped a warning label on all tweets from National Public Radio. Going forward, NPR will be identified for users of Elon Musk’s social media site as “state-affiliated media.” That is the same category as Russia Today or China Central Television. It means that NPR is not that different from the Tehran Times, with the exception, of course, of being less accurate and more anti-American. That
Hospitals have been told to serve up fewer chips in a crackdown on the dreary meals patients have complained about for decades.
NHS bosses in England have also demanded trusts offer hot food 24/7 and let patients choose their dinner from bed, as well as cooking more vegetable and fish dishes.
The biggest ever overhaul of internal catering will also see patients given food on proper plates as part of green drive to stamp out single-use plastic.

From Friday, households will be hit by a barrage of bill, tax and price hikes – plunging the country into the worst cost-of-living crisis for more than half a century.
April marks the arrival of a series of money pressures, including a 54 per cent surge in energy costs, the new National Insurance levy and bigger council tax bills.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Spring Statement last week offered some reprieve as he saved thousands of people from the new National Insurance
