The Independent 's programme to shun extremists (4)
I believe the answer is:
ours
'programme to shun extremists' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'the independent 's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
''s' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'our' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ours that I've seen before include "of the Queen?" , "What we share" , "The French bear" , "British" , "Belong to us both" .)
