Political Correctness from both sides....

Nice to see ridiculous political correctness gets what it deserves....

The gentle sport of angling is at the centre of a political correctness battle that has pitched animal rights activists against anti-racism campaigners.

The row has erupted over a Government campaign to encourage ethnic minorities and women to take up fishing, after ministers decided that river banks are too full of white, middle-aged men.

The initiative, revealed by the Sunday Telegraph last week, has been welcomed by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) as a way to help integration.

However, it has run into opposition from an animal rights group which claims that fish are "intelligent and interesting individuals" who feel terrible pain when caught on an angler's hook.
