The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not get caught
On a basic level you should always treat every microphone as if it's live but if the public are naive enough to think that the other candidates aren't doing the same thing in private then they need a little wake up call.
I'm surprised at the BBC reporting it in such a sensationalist way though. As I commented to them only a few days ago, they're behaving like a commercial channel desperate for viewers.
