rabble

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

'crowd' is the definition.
(I know that rabble is a type of crowd)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for rabble that I've seen before include "Unruly mob" , "A mob of riffraff" , "Leaderless mob" , "Person who stirs up feeling of mob" , "Disorderly crowd or mob" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
