This reminds me of the campaign during some French referendum from a couple of years ago, featuring posters railing against the "polish plumbers". Evidently, Frenchmen can't be bothered with such menial jobs (after all, they're too busy pontificating about high-fallutin lefty hot air), but still, begrudge the unwashed New Europeans willing to actually do the work. Are the English taking after the French now?

Seems like it. I would have expected better but I guess the labor unions (not Solidarnosc) are pushing their weight.
