A designer has sparked outrage with a set of knitting patterns to make woolley models of the world’s most evil dictators.Rachael Matthews – who has kicked-started a celebrity knitting craze – calls the grotesque Nazi doll ‘Knitler’. See what she did there?
Her new book has designs for a dozen dictators, with a photo of Hitler doing the Nazi salute on the front cover.
Other tyrants featured are Iraqi monster Saddam Hussein, Uganda’s brutal Idi Amin and Cambodian dictator Pol Pot.
First band into the Dragon’s Den
The first band to enter the Dragon’s Den has done so…and you can see the result aired this evening at 9pm on BBC.
The new indie/rock band Hamfatter will request £75,000 from the Dragon’s on tonight’s programme, in the hope that one of the dragons will take pity on them and back their bid for stardom.
If the bids are behind them their first single off the back of the proceeds from the dragons investment will ‘The Girl I Love.’
