Yes to the comment too. The actual title of the Shakespeare drama is simply "Richard III." I should've checked.

Re: THURSDAY CRYPTICS - 12/4/14
Update and hints.
1. Knock off the French, bete noire! I say. (4)
hint: Think of cheap leather-like jackets, shoes, recliners, etc., and most famously - political and social gaffes.
4. If vandalized lash out at Spanish with a greeting. (5,7)
hint: Think of the famous song of a Puerto Rican singer that is played in almost every public place during this season.

FELIZ NAVIDAD from IF + VANDALIZED
I had a hunch from the letter count that it should be something with these two words, but got lazy to go on an anagram generator to check it out.

FAUX?
