Debt Crisis
Alchemi returns with a crossword that has, as a theme, the current Greek debt crisis. I was enjoyable to solve though again a little high on the anagram count (Gazza will need to take his shoes and socks off)! My favourite clue was the topical and well constructed themed clue in 15a.

Today’s crossword was enjoyable. I have highlighted my favourite clues in blue. There were perhaps too many anagrams in the wordplay, but for those who like them in abundance, this crossword will be right up your street.
