Ro rt in g?
From the wordplay it looks like it should be Rorting
RO (run out) RT (right) IN (ni)G(ht) but I'm not aware of rorting meaning protesting loudly.
Rorting, but it doesn't make sense.
But none of those definitions really mean protesting
Maybe it's a dialect word. I this a local crossword quinie? Maybe it's a Doric word?
Fit Like? by the way

Thank you all for your help.Rorting must be the answer-a new word to me.I thought I'd made a mistake but the second r comes from the clue Moses' brother's staff had miraculous plant-Aaron's Rod.
Thanks for the link,mazie.
Calibax,it's the Life and Work cryptic crossword.Not a Doric word.
Ah'm nae bad ava jist noo,thank you -getting another scan before treatment starts. Hope you're all keeping well-you're such lovely helpful people
Rioting
Question Author
Sorry,weecalf ,the second r is definitely correct. I thought rioting might have been the answer too if setter had made a mistake !
I think the setter has confused a noisy protest with a wild party.
Just for confirmation, Chambers has one meaning of rort as :to shout, protest loudly
Question Author
Thanks for that,Calibax. Think I'll treat myself to a Chambers Dictionary if I win this crossword!.Have won it once already so shouldn't be greedy-just enjoy doing them to keep my brain active lol
