Stops by Conservative everyone offends (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
calls in
'stops' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'by conservative everyone offends' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'conservative' becomes 'C' (UK political abbreviation).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'offends' becomes 'sin' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'c' put next to 'all' is 'call'.
'call'+'sin'='CALLS IN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calls in that I've seen before include "speaks without entering?" , "Drops by" , "Visits" .)
