“It's rather like Lord Darlington and Kazuyoshi Shigeru's novel, The Remains of the Day. People who think, gosh, the First World War was such a tragedy.”

Sentiment: Passing Reference
Trigger: British elite pro-German sentiment
For: Readers interested in historical perspectives on British-German relations
Key quote: “It's rather like Lord Darlington and Kazuyoshi Shigeru's novel, The Remains of the Day.”
The host mentions 'The Remains of the Day' to illustrate how some members of the British elite, like Lord Darlington in the novel, were sympathetic to Germany before World War II. This reflects a broader historical context where many intelligent and well-educated people believed in a potential friendship between Britain and Germany.
