“They ought to be taken as, alright, she’s woken up or her advisors have woken up and thought, what is the most annoying thing I could say today to cause a controversy?”saying the No case’s arguments were “based in racism and stupidity”. “And that’s what will happen because we as a people, and the Yes campaign, we are not going to give up.
