Liberal admitted, males hate dancing still (3,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all the same

'still' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'liberal admitted males hate dancing' is the wordplay.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'admitted' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are let in or admitted).
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'males'+'hate'='maleshate'
'maleshate' is an anagram of 'althesame'.
'l' inserted within 'althesame' is 'ALL THE SAME'.

(Other definitions for all the same that I've seen before include "like peas in a pod?" , "like clones?" , "even so" , "everyone is in uniform" , "Not material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
