XXX Ken Loach film about income support and society (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kisses

'xxx' is the definition.
(XXX can represent a string of kisses)

'ken loach film about income support and society' is the wordplay.
'ken loach film' becomes 'Kes'.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'income support' becomes 'IS' (abbreviation for income support).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'is'+'s'='iss'
'kes' going around 'iss' is 'KISSES'.

(Other definitions for kisses that I've seen before include "Lightly touches" , "Smackers" , "Pecks" , "caresses" , "Osculations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
