The Week Crossword 839

[WilliamRufus]

I'm stuck on 7d: Writing style of GBS, say is better (4) _ E _ S
Also on the Clue of the week: A slave protest ending in sedition being crushed (8 apostrophised, 6). Could it be PEASANTS' REVOLT?

[shoota]

GBS is a common abbreviation of George Bernard Shaw but I am no closer to solving the clue than you.
Peasant's revolt looks good.

[shoota]

Less (is more) perhaps?

[bibblebub]

2) yes, it's an anagram of a+slave+protest+(seditio)n

[Kerrymar]

7d I have 'caps' i.e. capital letters and caps means 'is better'

[shoota]

Aha...

[WilliamRufus]

Thanks Bibblebub. You are smart to have worked out the anagram in the Clue of the week.

[WilliamRufus]

Kerrymar: You're right: 7d is CAPS. The E I had as the second letter was wrong because I misspelt LOOFAH as the answer to 9a.
