Max Keiser on Downton Abbey

From the last few minutes of yesterday's Keiser Report, Episode 462, after discussing Home-Owner-Ism:

I think it's based on the British character. Because here in Britain, people ascribe huge value to their home. "A man's castle is his home".

Everyone wants to be a freaking wannabe aristocrat with their big plant... Downton Abbey has done more damage to the psyche of this country than even the Sex Pistols allegedly did back in the seventies.

Downton Abbey is the most radically misinformed propaganda that one could ever imagine coming out of the psychosis of whoever produced that show, the BBC I would imagine... ITV, I knew that wasn't the BBC this time, it was ITV.

But there's a mentality there that if you own a home, no matter how badly you screw up the economy, no matter how much debt you go into...

Remember in Downton Abbey, the guy almost went bankrupt, as I recall in the later episodes... Lord Doodipuss almost went bust.
