Is including a politician with certain inhabitants of Lincoln (4)
I believe the answer is:
imps
'certain inhabitants of lincoln' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'is including a politician' is the wordplay.
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'a politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'is' enclosing 'mp' is 'IMPS'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imps that I've seen before include "Mischievous spirits" , "Little devils or scamps" , "Cheeky little devils" , "Small devils or mischievous children" , "Demons" .)
