it is british sometimes

In our scene you see the criminals being forced to lie down on the floor as many policemen surround them with guns from rooftops etc. This links to the thoughts of Britain being a strong army force.

This may represent the views of the time which may have still had some hints of racism towards minority groups. this could also be backed up with the way the criminals are made out to be less intelligent.

You can also see during the scene that is set in a quite urban, industrial area which shows that
