As usually I am stuck on the last few.

In order of irritation, here they are:
Naughty girl mean to exclude Queen in Balmoral frolic (9) GIL__VA__
Note: a horse upset NG_NA
Review editor not contributing to reputation C__T
Are environmentalists keeping money from French facilities? A_REMIN_
Half hearted subordinate on the Tube? _ASAL

Explanations as always appreciated!!

GILRAVAGE
anagram of 'girl' + av(er)age

NGANA
note = N, a horse upset = A NAG reversed

CRIT
cr(ed)it

AGREMENT
are = A, environmentalists = GRRE, money = M

VASAL
vas(s)al

[bibblebub]

...environmentalists = GREEN

[Captain2]

bibble, could you do the honours please and explain why

environmentalists = GRRE

[bibblebub]

corrected in my 2nd posting

[bibblebub]

apologies, i've filled in my grid incorrectly


AGREMENS
are = A, environmentalists = GREENS, money = M

[Captain2]

I must get a better dictionary.

Gilravage - brilliant
Ngana fits bit I wonder if some of the clue is missing. What exactly is a ngana? I can't find it in my dictionary or online.
Crit - nice
Agrement - facilities yes but where do you get the T from? Agremens fits better
Vasal - doh!! should have got that

Which means "King upset me and another guy? Take a defiant stance perhaps" is KEMBO, not KIMBO as I had thought. Which I assuem is a variant spelling

[bibblebub]

'ngana' is given by Chamber as another spelling of 'nagana' and means "a disease of horses and cattle..." (and it goes on for a bit more)

'kembo' is also given there to be the same as 'kimbo'

[elliemay1]

ngana - definition of ngana by Medical dictionary
nagana. see trypanosomiasis. na·ga·na (nah-gah'nah), An acute or chronic disease of cattle, dogs, pigs, horses, sheep, and goats in sub-Saharan Africa; marked by fever, anemia, and cachexia, varying in severity with the parasite and the host.
