Jeer Republican oaf (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boor

'oaf' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'jeer republican' is the wordplay.
'jeer' becomes 'boo' (I've seen this before).
'republican' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'boo'+'r'='BOOR'

(Other definitions for boor that I've seen before include "Barbarian" , "Lout" , "oik" , "Rough, bad-mannered person" , "Crude uncouth person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
