British ultra-sloshed and barbarous (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brutal

'barbarous' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'british ultra-sloshed' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'sloshed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ultra' with letters rearranged gives 'rutal'.
'b'+'rutal'='BRUTAL'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for brutal that I've seen before include "extremely honest" , "Cruel, heartless" , "Senselessly cruel" , "Harsh, merciless" , "Inhuman - pitiless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
