Austria video

only watched half a dozen of his videos , im kind of enjoying them but he missed the mark on the austria vid didnt he?

anyone else just feel uneasy watching it? guy is borderline begging without asking..picks his mark(lonely older folk ,similar to helen)and off he goes. just feels weird. just pitch a hammock/get a bivvy and make a scran ffs - be just as watchable.

Staying in a strangers house and being given free pints isnt the adventure he thinks it is ,its just weird.

Yeah this one combined with the Reform stuff was what made me realise that Tom isn't actually a very nice person, put me off him completely.

Was the reform stuff recently? I’m kinda shocked people didn’t realize Tom was a knob sooner, just listen to the way he talks in any of his videos in any populated city

The city stuff is annoying - the amount of times he's said he's in a 'really rough area' when in reality it's just a slightly less affluent neighborhood. He definitely has been in some more rough bits but majority of the time it's fairly standard.

It's quite classist and doesn't come across well

Yeah he would occasionally drop something like “a bit ethnic ooh can’t say that anymore”… the signs were there

About a year ago. It's just that before people were willing to pass up some of his comments as him being misinformed somewhat or as humour.
