Theresa May beheaded by Brexit guillotine in controversial sand sculpture

A sand artist’s new sculpture of the Prime Minister suggests he’s not a big fan of the way Brexit is being handled.

Dutch activist Johannes Hogebrink is building a monument in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, which shows Theresa May moments before she’s hacked by a Brexit guillotine.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump both sit rubbing their hands together with glee as they watch the imminent beheading while on a large globe.

The controversial model is part of the Weston Sand Sculpture Festival, which opened on April 19.

It has a theme of ‘What If…?’ where artists explore important and alarming messages from around the world.

Artistic leader and event organiser Nicola Wood said: ‘Of course we wanted to include Brexit and in fact we built a large block ready for a dramatic piece once the decision had been made – promised immediately before our opening.

‘We are still waiting, and the empty block became a sad reminder of the purgatory state we are in, so we decided to change tack.’

Mr Hogebrink’s sculpture of Mrs May should be completed by Wednesday.

The Weston Sand Sculpture Festival runs daily until the end of September.
