    This is swan story that will run and run. Don't know what he's carping on about.
    The owner of a fishing lake who put up a sign banning Eastern Europeans is being investigated by police.
    Eddie Whitehead, who owns Dog Lane Fishery in Napton-on-the-Hill, Warwickshire, said he put the sign up after £10,000 worth of carp was stolen.
    He said he believed people from Eastern Europe visiting the lake before closing time were responsible and he wanted to protect his livelihood.
    Police said they had received complaints the sign was racist.

    “
    Over in Poland or wherever they come from it's a speciality that what they catch they do eat, but they've got to realise they're in England”
    Eddie Whitehead Fishery owner
    Mr Whitehead, 75, said the fishery had a strict catch-and-release policy and that he explained the rules to all fisherman who used the lake.
    He said he was not a racist and had put up the bright green sign, which read "No Eastern Europeans", four months ago.
    He said: "A lot of Eastern Europeans come in late afternoons, very often before closing time, and they're taking the fish away.
    "Over in Poland or wherever they come from it's a speciality that what they catch they do eat, but they've got to realise they're in England and they can't do it here.

    He was probably right about who was taking the fish but was wrong tarring them all with the same brush.

    Those carp must get pretty pi$$ed off being caught and released, it'd be like Groundhog Day with big hooks in their mouths.

    Death by cooking and eating may be a release. Poor mites.

    He should conduct a 'pole' to see what the fish think.
