I have started attempting the daily Star newspaper cryptic, but the setter seems a lot less technical than you. Often the clues are not 'enoded' as yours are, but simply obscure clues, like "Backing raised during game (7)" is "support"; or "Thrown from plane and tossed on tides (10)" is "jettisoned".

How so? OK, you don't see stars during the day, but that's only very tentatively relevant.

I had the Daily Star down as more of a red-top rag full of gossip than a newspaper, but maybe I'm maligning a fine, upstanding member of the British press.

Nope. You are right with the gossip rag bit.

The Daily Star in the UK is aimed at people whose reading skills are, shall we say, not too advanced.

From 'Yes Prime Minister'... Hacker: "Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is." Sir Humphrey: "Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?" Bernard: "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."
