British tolerated corrupt game (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

battledore

'game' is the definition.
(battledore is a kind of game)

'british tolerated corrupt' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'corrupt' indicates an anagram.
'tolerated' anagrammed gives 'attledore'.
'b'+'attledore'='BATTLEDORE'

(Other definitions for battledore that I've seen before include "Not much of a racket" , "Forerunner of Badminton" , "game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
