WHAT TO DO IF YOU
ARE CAUGHT LYING- (^) Fight back is the new policy.
Never admit that you’re in the
wrong, even if you are caught
red-handed
. - Make “All guidance was
followed completely” a mantra. - Say sorry in an “It’s not me,
it’s you” way. The tone should
be, “You are very angry, so I’m
sorry for that. Now move on.” - Use the bigger-issues-at-
stake-here defence, eg “There’s
a war on. Hadn’t you noticed?” - Use the love excuse.
(See Matt Hancock.) - Aim to repeat: “I certainly
broke no rules.”
