How is Britain represented in "Minder"

The way Britain is represented is used many ways by utilizing mise-en-scene and class. The policeman wear very smart casual clothing to present their authoritative role. The scene where the victims are trapped by the black enforcers with the policeman outside show how the area is significantly secured. It shows how authorities appear to have the upper hand due to their overwhelming numbers. This presents Britain to be a very co-ordinate and diplomatic country. Despite the situation where the enforcers are making threats to the police. The police do not turn hostile and decide to remain in a calm state.

In comparison to the black leader, his clothing and social class appears less wealthy in relation to the police. His role is reckless and narcissistic when it comes to dealing with the authorities. The clothing he wears appears very tacky and untidy. This choice of wear represents how black people are stereotypically poor in society as commonly known in Africa. You're given the disrespectful impression how crude he responds to the policeman's demands. This representation of communication shows how Britain was embroiled in social and racial tensions during the 70/80s.
