By Southwest Nationalist. The River Wye, meandering miles through picturesque countryside, and voted Britain’s favourite waterway, has become the latest victim of mass immigration as fish stocks plunge due to poaching by mainly Eastern Europeans.
Environmentalists have issued a dire warning that the fish stocks in the river have plunged by over 50% in the last two years alone.
Witnesses speak of Eastern European criminals even setting up barbecues along the rivers bank to cook and eat the fish which they have poached illegally, before selling the rest on the black market.
“We’ve noticed this trend across the country due mainly to the influx of migrant workers from Eastern Europe” said Mark Lloyd of the Angling Trust.
Indeed so, the Wye is not the only waterway in the UK to fall victim to immigrants illegally decimating the fish stocks.
One incident which managed to make national news was that of four men from Kazakhstan who were apprehended trying to kill fish using a shotgun on the River Drove near Cambridgeshire. Armed police with helicopter support rushed to the scene and an arrest was made.
The River Nene in Peterborough is home to numerous horrific stories, including swans clubbed to death by foreigners foraging for food.
“Many of the waters that we control are being systematically raped and pillaged by migrants…..The fish stocks have declined markedly in the past six years. There is a definite correlation between this and the influx of migrants to the city” said Andy Jackson of the Peterborough and District Angling Association in March of last year.
It is a story which is being repeated across the country. Today’s angler near any enriched area can tell stories not of the big one that got away, but rather of the big one that got snatched for the immigrants cookpot and of declining fish numbers.
Our lakes and rivers – which make up some of the most beautiful places in England — are being decimated by this mass influx of foreigners, fish stocks and other wildlife which relies upon the waterways for survival are suffering.
The environmental costs which come with importing large populations of immigrants into the UK are damaging across the board, whether it be land bulldozed to create more housing, or rivers left as barren as a crop field which has been prey to a swarm of locusts.
Today we see yet another result of this. Angling, that quintessential bastion of Englishness, is under threat, and miles of Britain’s waterways are being stripped of their fish stocks and left virtual aquatic wastelands.
It will take fish stocks, both in numbers and size of fish, decades to recover, and that is if they are given chance to do so.
As things stand they will be given no chance to recover at all, and many of our waterways seem destined to become places where people are lucky to even see a fish, let alone catch one.
Britain, home to so many picturesque and beautiful waterways which teem with a diversity of life, deserves better than watching them turn into watery deserts which have been poached and exploited into near extinction.

i an a lady angler and many waters that i fish have been poached by foreigners some being caught on the fisheries by the bailiffs the police being called to be told that they are to busy to attend so these people get away scott free to return the next day to poach once again there has got to be a deterrant fishing without a licence is illegal and you are tresspassing so lets get tough and stop it now
What will they attack for food when the fish stocks run out?
There really is only one way to stop the effects of invasion and that is how our ancestors dealt with it. When the Germans arrived on the Channel Islands, they were not made to go with promises of houses and social security.
It may “only” be fish at the moment, but it describes the rape of a nation. The police cannot cope. It is time to arm the true Britons. It is time the Army rebelled against High Treason, is it not?
I am an angler from what you call Eastern Europe. And I am against poaching and illegal fishing i.e. fishing with nets, without EA license, using electricity or during close season.
I can assure you that swans are not considered delicacy in my country. In fact the first time I’ve found out about swans being eaten is reading the news in UK.
Eating course fish is not a phenomenon anywhere in Europe, as far as I know people do it in Spain, France, Germany and Scandinavia. And when I ask British anglers why they don’t take fish home the most common answer is “because it tastes sh**”.
By the way fishing bylaws allow anyone with rod license to remove up to 15 small fish, one pike and two grayling from rivers (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/recreation/fishing/119393.aspx).
Taking fish from privately owned fisheries is a theft. Plain and simple.
If some of my countrymen are braking the law their are criminals and should be dealt with accordingly, but scapegoating “evil Eastern Europeans” for depleting fish stock in your rivers is just wrong.
I’m sorry but I find your claim about coarse fish being sold on the black markets an utter nonsense.
By the way I’m from one of Baltic States – Lithuania. And our true geographic location in Europe is in North East. Poland has always been in central Europe. And we have very little in common with Romanians, Bulgarians and especially Albanians and people from Kazakhstan.
Soviet Union collapsed more than 20 years ago but you along with mass media divide Europe into East and West.
Renata, I respect your remarks here, but I have to say that Lithuania is not mentioned in this article, nor even implied. As you remind us, Lithuania has a coast on the Baltic, and it is on the same parallel as Denmark and southern Sweden and roughly as close to Finland as London is to Edinburgh. I personally consider Lithuania (and Latvia and Estonia) to be geographically part of Scandinavia, not part of Eastern Europe. As you quite rightly point out, Lithuania is North East, as is Finland, certainly not East. The only country which is mentioned in the article is Kazakhstan, which lies east of the Volga with a coast along the Caspian Sea, most of the country being farther east than Baghdad. I do not think that this article meant, or even implied, that Lithuanians were involved in any way, and I myself consider your sharp reply somewhat hasty. The only person who is assuming that Lithuanians are being numbered amongst Eastern Europeans seems to be you, I’m afraid. Kazakhstan, of course, is not even in Europe – yet! (it is geographically part of Asia) But its people are already flocking here, and it is one of Europe’s closest Eastern neighbours, with only mainly the Ukraine separating it from EU territory. If Turkey is admitted into the EU, can Kazakhstan be far behind? These and countries like these lying generally south and east of Lithuania are the big “Eastern European” threat, not Lithuania and other Scandinavian countries. Please, carry on fishing.
I know that my countrymen participate in illegal fishing. We have the same problem back in Lithuania. And our criminal law deals with it very harshly, it’s enough to find the fishing net in private premises and this could mean 1-2 years jail sentence. In most cases poaching is perpetuated by uneducated, underclass country folk. Usually they are not familiar with Environment Agency bylaws because they can’t read or speak English. That is not an excuse and in my personal opinion these people shouldn’t be here in the first place.
Lithuanians as a particular ethnic group weren’t mentioned in this article. But I’ve been in this country long enough to notice that the majority of public always defines us Lithuanians as Eastern Europeans. It’s nothing new that being probably the second largest ethnic minority group from former Eastern Block we are nearly always being mentioned alongside Polish, Czech, Slovaks, Hungarians, Bulgarians or Romanians immigrants. Just browse many UK news articles available on internet where Lithuanians are mentioned and you will definitely find the wording “Eastern Europeans”.
More than two decades after the fall of “Iron Curtain” we are still too often being referred to as Eastern Europeans in mass media.
I think this term of division between East and West Europe is being used not because of the ignorance or as a quick reference to past geopolitical concept but purely to divide and alienate us.
Sometimes reading articles on official BNP and BNP Ideas websites I get an impression that you start to resort to same “blame the Eastern Europeans (so you won’t be blamed of being racist)” tactics.
Take this article for example:
http://www.bnp.org.uk/news/another-boom-‘enriching’-eastern-european-immigration
Note: the mistake was made here naming Latvia on of the 5 instead of Lithuania, although we do consider Latvians as our nearest ethnic and genetic kinsmen.
Entrance from Wikipedia about the Peterborough the same region mentioned in current article:
Is this out desperation of not getting enough support from your British people you think you can attract ones who read pulp fiction “Daily Mail”, “The Sun”, et cetera you name us as one of the biggest threat?
I am afraid by doing this you are losing the support from European immigrants including me.
I guess it’s up to you decide if it’s worth it.

The same problem with the immigrants is going on down here in Bridgwater, Somerset.
I’m trying to get it brougth the attension of Organisations/ trusts/ Councillors etc
Somthing has got to be done before this Country goes to the dogs even further
