I noticed this behaviour in regards drink in Australia, was their in 2008.has this prick of a Irish foreman, shouting and roaring Monday to Thursday, Friday he would bring in a slab of beer at 14:00, by four you were in the pub and he was giving his sorrows for shouting, but he was under pressure. My saving grace was I have an enzyme problem in breaking down alcohol, the most I can ever have is 2 bottles. So I never developed the relationship to drink and pubs,but seen grown men encouraging young 20yr old to part with their money behind a bar. So they could work them to the bone on Monday, knowing they had nothing in their packet.

if you look at the bigger picture, it was always the construction corporations Murphy’s McAlpine, John Lang… but for hands-on brutality, you had to fear none but your own! They called it working on the lump no taxes, no insurance no Medical no nothing, cash in your hand at the end of the week. most of them young not knowing too much well it was more money for the drink,Now in their 60s and 70s and 80s now they have nothing ,no pension ,they can’t go home ,they’re not wanted ,can’t go back to Ireland after having spent 40 years in England with no money, they will chase you. This is their lot..

Thank you for posting this video. I am Irish and lived in London in the late 90s/early 2000’s. I used to see men like these men all the time, it always made me profoundly sad as a lot of them were such nice men that just went down the road of drinking to very dangerous levels. They were definitely lonely and treated badly by the Irish they worked for and basically discarded instead of helped when they were no longer able to work. Thank god some of them were in Arlington house and other hostels, at least they got some level of care but a lot of them died destitute, alone in old squats or out in the cold. Sometimes the only people that could identify them were other lads they drank with as they had become estranged from their families. My Dad mentioned some of the men he knew from working in England came directly from the industrial schools and were unable to cope with normal life. So sad and so let down by their own. I hope these men got the help they deserved and are still alive today.

The fella near the end saying he was called a plastic Paddy when he went back - that sounds like Ireland alright. You have to be looking down your nose at someone over there all the time.

Point taken Paddy but there is no denying the toll the drink took on Irishmen working in England in the 50s 60s 70s 80s most of them never to go home again.
