The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown.

Is it just me or are the police being morons? The coat in question is black and sandy coloured with very long hairs. If that came from a gorilla, I'm Jimmy Saville.
And has anyone ever heard of a gorilla coat anyway?
I suspect if Pete Burns knew the effect of his wind-up, he'd be roaring with laughter.
Maybe it came from a showbiz wannabe gorilla with extensions and a bleach job? Ha, you might be clever, Simon, but you didn't think of that, did you?Is it just me or are the police being morons?

There IS something disarmingly simple-minded about Plod though isn't there? Lets hope Pete Burns doesn't claim to be Lord Lucan, every copper within 50 miles would be on set in minutes.

Apparently, the coat was from Colobus monkey or something - presumably not an endangered species.
Nonetheless, as a veggie, I do rather share Jodie Marsh's initial reaction to Pete Burns telling her about the coat - two words, telling him to go procreate (although on reflection, I would not wish him to take it literally).
GAH!
You guys will talk about anything lol
That's understandable, but having licenses for gorilla coats? That's weird.Uhm ... isn't it quite normal that purchasing skins or other parts of certain endangered species is illegal?

I guess those licenses might rather be an exception - perhaps the license generally refers to gorilla skins (not just coats) and could be something that is granted, e.g., for gorilla skins in exhibitions or for skins that are already a bit older (like heirlooms from the great-Grandpa's safari trips![]()

Hey jimmy
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Maybe I'm losing it, but the police investigation of this seems right up there with their investigation of Hamilton rape accusation, the Iqbal Sacranie homophobic remark and the Prime Minister's anti-Welsh jibe.Originally Posted by InsaneApache
