Been away but stuck on top left hand corner:
Post occupied by current Conservative say in East Germany once 6/5. I have Palace something??
Also effects 4d
Member of Religious group 4, --K-
Finally 17a Appeal involving Europeans and Africans.8 letter.
Any help appreciated.

Member of religious group looks like SIKH, but it isn't cryptic.

1a Police State
17a Sudanese

Hi jazzgirl
SUDANESE is obviously correct, but isn't "appeal" for "sue" a bit loose? The closest my Chambers comes for "sue" is "petition" or "entreat" - neither quite the same, and "sue" doesn't appear amongst the (much longer) entry for "appeal" either.

full clue for 4d was
"member of religious group found in court,say"

seek sounds like sikh ?

Thanks jazzgirl - that makes more sense.

sorry chrise. My phone rang and I had to listen to my friend telling me all about his visit to the Doc !

Fair enough - thanks, jazzgirl

Thanks: agree Sudanese is iffy! Jazzgirl just got a retrospective on Thelonius-never realised how good he was!
