Former Yugoslav dictator takes us in as Lawrence goes in for old anti-Catholic fabricator (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
titus oates
'goes in for old anti-catholic fabricator' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'former yugoslav dictator takes us in as lawrence' is the wordplay.
'former yugoslav dictator' becomes 'tito' (I've seen this before).
'takes' is an insertion indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lawrence' becomes 'te' (TE Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia).
'tito' enclosing 'us' is 'tituso'.
'as' enclosing 'te' is 'ates'.
'tituso'+'ates'='TITUS OATES'
