Must say I am not a fan. But quite annoyed and shocked tonight to see her wearing a massive fox tail on her coat hood!

What tells you that it is real?

There were close ups and it was windy- so it was like blowing on the 'fur'- and also the differences in shading. I trained with wildlife police and this is what we were told to look for. Much much too long hairs for rabbit.

If it was fake- then it was amazingly great fake, never seen the like. Would love to be proven wrong.

''2. You can tell, Kali2 ? Really? At a distance? Under studio lights?''

it was outdoors, and very close up and windy. Have you watched it?

I have a fake - sorry, faux - fur jacket that lots of people have thought was real. Even a dry cleaner had to look at the label before he would agree to clean it after I dropped a cup of coffee down it. 40 quid in a Monsoon sale many years ago. Lovely and warm. There are probably people all over the place tut-tutting about the disgusting woman they've seen wearing fur.

The designer who’s coat this is does not use real fur, go to her website.

In which case, I ma delighted. I have never ever seen such real looking and reacting 'faux fur' - ever. (and as said, I have received quite a bit of training).

I wonder if she's thinking of sueing Gransnet?

Even OB (outdoor broadcasts) use studio/floodlights as natural light especially in winter is not good enough to film by.

Not a module I experienced in my PGCE

Wildlife police in the U.K. ?

Calistemon Sat 08-Jan-22 21:29:48

I don't think for one second that a vegan would wear real fur.

Schools these days * Anniebach* - you can’t be too highly trained grin

Anniebach Sat 08-Jan-22 21:31:48

Sorry just remembered, usually a force has one police officer who has had training along with his / her training

MayBeMaw Sat 08-Jan-22 21:36:59

Well if Kali2 was a police officer as well as a teacher that is indeed another string to her ? bow

In fairness we do have them in Wales, we have a Wildlife and Rural Crime Co-ordinator, and designated police in each force allocated to wildlife and rural crime. There’s a lot of it about here unfortunately.

Calistemon Sat 08-Jan-22 21:44:15

Do we?
rural crime
I'll be more careful in future!

Casdon Sat 08-Jan-22 21:49:06

Sheep rustling is sadly very common. Also badger baiting, egg stealing, puppy farms, shooting animals and birds that are protected, stealing quad bikes and farm equipment etc. etc. it’s a jungle out here in Rural Wales!

Calistemon Sat 08-Jan-22 21:52:27

I do know!!

Puppy farming is terrible, my friend has a rescued puppy and the mother is now in a good home, poor little thing.

Casdon Sat 08-Jan-22 21:57:08

I agree Calistemon puppy farming is so cruel, I don’t understand how people can be so unkind to dogs. Unfortunately there’s a lot of rural crime about, and I’m all in favour of the police devoting some of their energies into issues in these areas, it’s much needed.

Josieann Sat 08-Jan-22 22:38:38

OK, so say the coat hood did turn out to be real fur, not that I think it is, mightn't Alex Jones simply have been misled into buying a garment that is not faux fur as stated on the label? Why be annoyed with her personally when the blame should probably lie with an overseas manufacturer?
