Totally bizarre review of a soap opera by Owen Jones, one of the left's supposed rising stars: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/review-downton-abbey-season-4-premiere--a-fascinating-insight-into-the-quiet-violence-of-the-class-system-8833120.html
Downton Abbey is an anachronistic work of fiction, written and produced by people who have no first-hand knowledge of the period in question.
It is a titillating piece of nonsense filled with errors, modernisms and highly fanciful scenarios.
For an Independent writer to take this rubbish seriously makes one wonder whether dumbing-down is adequate as a descriptor.
What next one wonders?
Steve Richards using Hollyoaks as a guide to the way we live now?
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown drawing sociological insights from the latest X-Factor?
When the Independent starts dropping its standards one fears for the future of the media.
