I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'comparatively offensive' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'panorama say probing fiscal watchdog' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'panorama' could be 'scene' (synonyms) and 'scene' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
