The inspector is looking down, and talking down on him throughout the clip, showing he is of higher status than him. Whilst the Inspector speaks to him, he repeats Billy’s sentences, almost like you would with a child- because he thinks of him as ‘mentally sub-normal’. Billy is also shown to be covered in mud, emphasising he isn’t ‘clean’; using both aspects of the word, maybe he has done something wrong, and/or maybe he is trying to be portrayed as dirty just because he is disabled. To contradict this Billy is shown as not as clever as everyone throughout, but is said to have a job, perhaps suggesting that disabled people are equal to us and deserve the same chances.
