@ChrisMayLA6 It has been unusual for a former #primeminister of the #uk to try to exert influence of any kind nearly twenty years after leaving office - most of them would have been dead by then . The closest parallel would be #davidlloydgeorge who was still very much around in the early 1940s. He remained an appeaser well after others - including even #nevillechamberlain - had ceased to be. Fortunately his former colleagues and dependents - most notably #winstonchurchill - chose to ignore him.

There are references in conversations between characters to actual historical figures - none of them still alive - these include #hannaharendt , #josephinebaker , #archbishopcarranza , #georgesclemenceau , #winstonchurchill , #bishopcolenso , #usmandanfodio , #indiragandhi , #benitojuarez , #davidlloydgeorge ,. #edwardlongshanks, #karlmarx , #claudemonet , #helphandparvus , #evaperón , #yitzakrabin , #oscarromero , #thaddeusstevens and #LeónTrotsky .
