Reply to: Anger over migrants' food fishing

Bloody fuzzy-wuzzies!

Wait until they discover Koi Carp... there will soon be a black market in 60 year old fish and chips....

Anyone caught fishing without a license should be deported to iraq

What about Sturgeon? Don't you have to offer it to the crown if you catch one?

Bring more immigrants in if they are going to eat pigeons!!! Get rid of the flying vermin!!

On a totally unrelated note I remember going out for a night in the town in Reading a couple of years back, after we had exhausted all of the drinking dives in town we decided to go and get some chicken. While walking up to the Perfect Fried Chicken we saw some guy out side holding a Pigeon in his hands and stroking it, we got to the door, he put the Pigeon down and walked in and served us.... (without washing his hand's I might add but we were a bit too drunk to care at that point)

Makes you wonder if that place should be renamed Perfect Fried Pigeon!!

and just for clarity...swans,ducks etc cannot be taken as a free food source

Ah yes, who could forget "Swan Bake" when the Eastern European "refugees" BBQ'd that poor swan in East London.

Still, its better than smuggling in half rotten gorillas fingers and other assorted "bush meat" and trying to sell them in Tottenham.
Never order sausages in a cafe run by fuzzy wuzzies.

What about pigeons?

When I first moved in here there were loads of the bastards leaving there little mementoes on the balcony. Used to do my head in. So I tried to make a bird scarer out of a couple of CD’s, but it didn’t work well. However, they have all disappeared.

I didn't kill them.

The British carp angling championships are currently showing on Sky. The barstard O'Connors have bagged the best swim.

On the subject of food and migrants, it strikes me that since there are no records of illegal immigrants and nobody is likely to report them missing, there's a bob or two to be made by luring them to a house with a promise of some no-questions-asked building work and topping them, flogging the carcases around the local kebab shops.

Xog, really, what did you think kebabs are made of?

I've often seen buses turn up at the Pick Your Own on the local farm churning out vaste quantities of fuzzy-wuzzies onto the fields for a full day feasting. Out come the carpets, plates, the jugs of soured milk... and the token small basket of veg to pay for at the end of the day.

A farmer friend tells me that they leave their sh!t behind as well.

I've never fished in the UK. Is it compulsory to return all fish, or are there some you're allowed to eat? What about fish from the sea?

Sea fish = eat (all, if caught on rod and line)
Coarse fish (bream, tench, roach, carp, etc) = put back
Game fish (trout, salmon, etc) = eat (fisheries charge, impose limits on how many you can take)

This thread is about coarse fish.

[Troll]

Fish from sea is OK to take & eat & needs no licence

'Game' fish from rivers can be taken and eaten - trout,seat trout, salmon etc - but permits are needed

But course fish such as roach,perch,carp etc cannot

I think stupidity should be punishable harshly to make people smarter.

If a hungry foreigner steals piece of bread then I can understand that, but going fishing is a luxury that is not necessary for survival, especially considering how few fish in this country (hence it is let back into water), so I'd crack down on such behavior very harshly indeed.

I think angling (fishing) is the No 1 sport (pastime) in this country

Bargain.
