Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion.
It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

This week's word is...

BIGOTRY (7)

Clues to be submitted by 6pm (GMT) on Wednesday 25th November with the winner being announced shortly after.

I have posted this separately as, if like me, you may not regularly fully read the 1st post other than to establish the word or phrase to be clued.
While I don't strictly adhere to Ximenean rules I think it only fair, since I'm judging, to point out that I feel if Definitions By Examples are being used as either the full definition, unlikely in this instance, or partially as part of the wordplay I think it is only fair when assessing a clue to consider potential solvers and I feel they should be accompanied by perhaps, possibly, say, the like ....... or something similar, which I appreciate through my own efforts previously isn't always easy to incorporate or may spoil the surface read.
I hope this doesn't put anyone off from entering.

Closed-mindedness makes great love go. (7)
