Capitalists are not gang members, gangster admitted (9)
I believe the answer is:
londoners
'capitalists' is the definition.
(people who live in the UK capital)
'members gangster admitted' is the wordplay.
'members' becomes 'loners' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gangster' becomes 'don' (mafia don).
'admitted' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are admitted in).
'loners' enclosing 'don' is 'LONDONERS'.
'are not gang' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
