Working class and public outrages (8)
I believe the answer is:
scandals
'public outrages' is the definition.
'scandals' can be an answer for 'outrages' ('scandal' can be a synonym of 'outrage'). I am not sure about the 'public' bit.
'working class and' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates an anagram.
'class'+'and'='classand'
'classand' anagrammed gives 'SCANDALS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scandals that I've seen before include "they're disgraceful" , "the cause of public opprobrium" , "Caught wearing shoes" , "Disgraceful actions, subjects of talk" , "Disgraceful situations" .)
