Comments on the clue

1.	Brave try, but the comma between 'Abuse' and 'if' is undesirable in the case of an imperative anagrind; 'Ragging…'?
2.	Clever, though it seems to me that using B for Brit is stretching things
3.	Indirect anagram but worth points as 'if French' could really only be 'SI' and it works well.
4.	'Brit' cannot be abbreviated to B, only British or Britain can
5.	This is an example of an indirect anagram (if French = SI), which solvers tend not to like.
6.	… but not B as BRIT!
7.	Not keen on the indirect anagram.
