Strong adverse reaction (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backlash

(Other definitions for backlash that I've seen before include "Violent reaction to an event - using whip?" , "Sudden violent reaction to an action or situation" , "Repercussion" , "Provoked adverse reaction" , "Hostile reaction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
