Miss M here posting for my boss, who now expects me to cut and paste as well - maybe he's sussed I'm writing a book in his time and it's not about him.

CLUELESS 106

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue-setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word.

The winner of the previous week’s competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge’s decision is final; reasons may or may not be given at the judge’s discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

To be fair to others, please do not make any comments on entries until after the winner has been declared.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome!

The answer to be clued is: DICTATOR (9)

Clues to be submitted by 18.00 tomorrow (10th April) with the winner being announced soon after.

Good luck

Since Rosalind seems to be the setter for BBM2 I think a very apt word has been chosen. :-)

St Benedict at Orleans buried a tyrant (9)

Whoops (8)

Little Richard with an Irish spud, say. (8)

Formalise an act to rid a despot of control (8)

Little Hitler (8)

Big Brother (8)

Tyrant taken by bounder, backwards over the radio (8)

A designer with unusual finesse was very much an oppressor (8).
designer = Dior, finesse= tact.
Oh dear... hope this isn't one of those "ghostly clues"
