Spoilt children ask me around in the morning -- this is symbolic (6,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hammer and sickle

'this is symbolic' is the definition.
(the hammer and sickle are communist symbols)

'spoilt children ask me around in the morning' is the wordplay.
'spoilt' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'in the morning' becomes 'am'.
'children'+'ask'+'me'='childrenaskme'
'childrenaskme' is an anagram of 'hmerandsickle'.
'hmerandsickle' going around 'am' is 'HAMMER AND SICKLE'.

(Other definitions for hammer and sickle that I've seen before include "that's symbolic for Left" , "revolutionary tools" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
