The Prime Minister has since apologised on national television, stating: "I was speaking off the cuff and if I offended anyone, I am very sorry."

"I can’t sit back in silence after a comment like that," she said, adding that it was right he has been criticised for his remarks...." Link to full article Inverness Courier
