The current Cyclops in Private Eye has got me stumped on a few clues.

The PE crossword is fucking impossible
if you read the clues. My best success comes from just trying to fit swearwords in at random.

It is often very sweary, true.
I find it oddly varies between fairly doable and so obscure that I sometimes have trouble seeing how a clue is meant to work even when looking at the solution in the following issue.

The clues are like
'Dicking fucker fucks fucking dickers' and somehow the answer is George Galloway or whatever.

That one's pretty obvious though, when you think about it.
