There is a sperm drought looming over the UK, and they're facing some issues keeping up with the demand. It is believed that donor numbers have dropped since 2005, when donors no longer had the right to anonymity (children who were conceived by way of a donor can now legally ask for the identity of their donor at age 18). And despite advances in fertility treatment causing a drop in demand for donors, there is still a large disparity. And doctors in the UK are turning to international sperm banks to deal.
British Fertility Society chairman Dr. Allan Pacey is concerned about clinics lowering their standards to meet demand. Via BBC:
"The worry is clinics might decide to change the quality of sperm they are willing to accept in order to get donors through the door and I think that's a very dangerous road to go down."
He's also concerned that couples may turn to riskier practices like "DIY insemination with a friend's sperm or seeking treatment in a country with less fertility regulation."
It seems the US and Denmark are major suppliers of sperm for the UK, and one in four donated samples is imported from abroad.

Yeah, all those Celtic-Germanic Americans will surely be used to commit genocide against the Celtic-Germanic English!

Offering you one example of a UK lovely girl...Genetic linage pure British. A chronically obese British woman who once had to be cut free from her home when she grew too big to leave it has lost 115kg.
Georgia Davis, 20, who weighed 350kg at her heaviest, has dropped to 235kg and says she wants to "live and be normal" after her weight nearly killed her, she told The Sun.
Davis, who was dubbed "Britain's fattest teen", had to be lifted out of her home in Aberdare, south Wales, in a hoist and taken to hospital last year.
That was back one year ago. Recently neighbours claimed that her disappearance from view coincided with a new bout of weight gain.
