Dodgy leader, sanctimonious and English, getting ripped apart (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
pied piper
'dodgy leader' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'sanctimonious and english getting ripped apart' is the wordplay.
'sanctimonious' becomes 'pi' (British abbreviation for pious).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'apart' is an anagram indicator (the word is broken apart).
'ripped' is an anagram of 'dpiper'.
'pi'+'e'+'dpiper'='PIED PIPER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pied piper that I've seen before include "He led children astray in Hamelin" , "Hamelin abductor" , "One who lured" , "Legendary German musician who lured away rats and children in Hamelin" , "(Hero of) Browning poem" .)
