The ‘Hammer & Sickle’ ‘picture derives from a ‘deleted’ scene found on one of the older blu-ray versions of this ‘Children of Men’ Movie. Although I have not had time to check – I am told that on the same scene in the ‘released’ film – the ‘Hammer & Sickle’ is removed! The exact same wall (together with ALL its peculiarly ‘British’ Revolutionary graffiti – and actors meandering around) is present – but the area above the two human heads is now ‘blank’! If I have time, I will confirm this and perhaps add a photograph of the same wall minus the ‘Hammer & Sickle’! Perhaps this omission is the ‘spirit’ of PD James making itself felt after-all – or the Bourgeois State is so afraid of our working-class symbols that they must be ‘removed’ from public display at all costs! After-all, Neo-Nazi Ukraine – along with the many other US-backed Hitlerite States throughout Eastern Europe – has ‘banned’ the Red Flag and the ‘Hammer & Sickle’, wrongly equating these Proletariat objects with ‘Russia’!
