1. I wouldn't say Spargo, the Chauffeur, was portrayed in a biased way. It was evident that his commitment to the Black Shirts was one that grew from deep seeded opinions about the state of politics. He listened to Osewald Moseley because he expressed some of the views he shared. He wasn't portrayed as the stereotypical fascist, not being evil, spiteful or narcissistic, he was just mislead.
2. The upstairs family and downstairs family seem to be happy with the two social classes having rigid boundaries, but these boundaries are blurred, things become uncomfortable. The two main examples being when Lady Persie goes down to Spago's quarters and Spargo keeps telling her she could go to bed, and when Mr. Amanjit joins the staff in listening to the radio. As he is an Abyssinian emperor who was overthrown by Mussolini, he is still part of an entirely different social class to him and stands out like a hooker in a nunnery
3 + 4. Lady Persephone is frustrated with her family trying to control her so tries to lash out, she doesn't necessarily believe in the ideals of the black shirts, but because it makes her family very angry, she finds joy in being one of them. In many ways she is like Jenny in An Education as they both want to do more than their elders will allow them and so try to break out with destructive consequences. They also both go for older gentlemen from different social circles, as an additional taboo for their respected guardians to deal with
5. The strongest British collective identity is probably the downstairs staff, as they share a group of people from different backgrounds who have come together despite their differences. However, they are also passive aggressive as they reluctantly sit with Spargo to eat when he wears his black shirt uniform, despite Rachel obvious displeasure to it.
