The payoff to this bricklayer moaning about migrants will have you facepalming into next year
We’re not saying this person is representative of everyone who phones into Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show, obviously.
Just most of them.
It’s a bricklayer who reckons Polish migrants are to blame for decimating his industry. People going to work in other countries, eh? Outrageous!

Extraordinary scenes.
Brian the bricklayer phones in to say we shouldn’t allow migrant bricklayers in to the UK. In the next sentence he says “I worked in Australia bricklaying for 10 years” 😳 @JeremyVineOn5 pic.twitter.com/xfqcgTg3h8

And here are just a few of the things people said about it.
So, Brian, following your logic, which is dubious, you robbed Australian bricklayers of work, because you took it all.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Typical Brit thinking he wasn't a migrant or an immigrant or simply a foreigner. No, I'm sure he thought he was a marvellous expat, adored and revered by everyone. British exceptionalism. https://t.co/VXvKJ2aefB

I see the shallow end of the gene pool is well represented…

That’s the same construction industry that can’t build enough houses now because of an acute labour shortage due to leaving the EU …

It’s genuinely difficult to grasp the sheer level of entitlement and stupidity necessary, to make that statement out loud. https://t.co/lfZ5Tzyv6x

My dad worked as a bricklayer in Germany in the early 90s after the recession. I can never get angry at anyone who comes to the UK doing the same.
