Because it's breaching the damp proof course. I think.
Bricks faces might come off, but is that so bad?

remembering someone was going to have a go at this, I looked back this morning, it's been on your mind some time - @NotThamesWater suggests it's a little bad, repointing at best
but fkit, give it a go, might just fall of with easy persuasion and a little more taptap in places

Is it reasonable to ask why? And what brick type is it laying on, there are hole markings in that which could be assumed to be from a 'damp proof treatment' - I'd have the biggest fear to be taking the surface of the brick(?) off with it -[surface=or weak point in brick/ chunk of brick] but if you have a way to recover that go for it
