I believe the answer is:

not half

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

'very much' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hate felon working without any electronics' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'without' could be 'not' and 'not' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'half' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for not half that I've seen before include "like a bigger drink?" , "in the minority?" , "Extremely" , "Certainly!" , "Rather! - less than 50%?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
