Politicians Game: Watch How She Does Not Directly Answer The Question

The Attorney General, Baroness Scotland, says she "absolutely accepts" she should have been fined for not copying documents.

At 1:40 she is asked a question, of which she does not answer. What she does do is end up repeating many of the things she has just said to the first reporter.

This is one of the oldest tricks in the Politician's crafty book. When asked a question, without any regard to the content of the question, they will make their statement.

She has a sentence or two that has been well crafted to accept responsibility for not copying the document, implying that it was more of an administrative error than being outside the compliance of the laws of the county of which she is responsible for enforcing.◦
