I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fully sensitive' is the definition.
'alive' can be an answer for 'sensitive' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'fully' bit.

'a vile manoeuvre' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvre' indicates an anagram.
'vile' anagrammed gives 'live'.
'a'+'live'='ALIVE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alive that I've seen before include "Breathing, existing" , "Active - living" , "Aware" , "Still with us" , "Existing - vigorous" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
