Things everyone knows? One respects dissembling (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
open secrets
'things everyone knows?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'one respects dissembling' is the wordplay.
'dissembling' indicates an anagram.
'one'+'respects'='onerespects'
'onerespects' with letters rearranged gives 'OPEN SECRETS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
