I'm not a Labour supporter by any means, but he has done a much better job than the Tories, all things considered. He wouldnt be my first choice but he is still much better than any PM in recent memory.

under his government immigration is down 70% I heard, and he vocally took a stand against the boats, Also apparently the economy is slightly up which I don't exactly feel, but at least its not visibly declining like under the tories. As well as keeping us out of the Iran war. He has obviously done many things I dont like such as the digital ID things amongst others, but no other labour candidate who would replace him is gonna be better on that.

If he resigns, all the Labour candidates who could replace him are gonna probably be less strict on immigration.

Obviously, everyone knows Russia is sanctioned, and I assume that means their government isn't allowed to own buildings in countries that sanctioned them.

However, recently I was on vacation in Nice, and our tour guide took us to the Orthodox cathedral there. Maybe the video was old, but there was an educational video that pretty much said the russian government controlled the cathedral, which I didnt think would be allowed.

Also our tour guide was from a balkan country and like was super pro russia and anti Ukraine, he also said he was a member of that Church.

I am from a country with pretty good transit at least in cities, despite this I still liked NJBs content, however, as time went on i started liking him less and less. Mostly due to how he says the same shit in every video, as well as the mass censorship on his platforms against people who disagree with him, and contempt for other people in the urbanist community.

I still watched a lot of his videos, although I started having a very negative opinion of him when he started saying stuff like how he never meant for his videos to be about improving places with bad urbanism, and was meant for people who could move to other places. this is despite most of his videos being about places he did not like. Furthermore, it is very classist, he is literally a rich guy who has a job where he can seemingly move around by asking his company to move him, as well as being rich enough to live in the most expensive neighborhood in amsterdam, which is not a cheap city anyways. He also now has a successful YouTube channel and patreon and nebula deal, where he literally gets to get paid by going on vacation and filming trains. According to him if he had his way his channel would exclusively be for rich expats/digital nomads trying to find places to live AKA drive up property values for normal people. very shitty especially as he is fine taking the lowly poor peoples money. also most people more into the urbanist community have criticised his actual beliefs around urbanism, although he still generally makes good points for newcomers. But he acts like netherlands and amsterdam especially is some kind of Utopia, I genuinely would not be suprised if he directly gets money from the dutch Immigration or Transit boards.

anyways the final straw is when I saw this post from him being anti nuclear power, all with points debunked to hell millions of times already. No, pro nuclear is not an argument from big fossil fuels, he was talking about australia which doesnt even have any fucking nuclear reactors. So if it is then they really havent been doing a good job anyways. He is clearly just an angry out of touch old man who likes spewing bullshit. Even Adam Something who also has problems and is probably the second biggest urbanism youtuber is pro nuclear.
