Unauthorised demand for suspension (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
lynch law
This clue might be a double definition.
'unauthorised demand' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'suspension' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lynch law that I've seen before include "Mob justice" , "Summary justice" , "Rough justice" , "Judging and putting to death illegally" .)
