Those who prefer to bury their heads in the (2) and imagine that Britain is the same as it

claims presented without evidence, and neither does she talk (8) to the non-expert. Her main
conclusion, that (9) until we all realise that there is a problem and decide to confront the
powers that (10) will the situation improve, is powerful and irresistible.
