The River Wye, meandering miles through picturesque countryside, and voted Britains 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. Todays 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 Britains 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.
