Boris vs the left

Much of this last week in the news has been taken up with events that kicked off on Saturday when it was reported Boris Johnson, the main contender for Conservative Party leader and his partner Carrie Symonds were heard to be shouting with the sound of objects being thrown in their flat in London.
A neighbour reported what they heard to the Metropolitan Police who having spoken to Mr Johnson and partner and others concluded that they were 'all right', nothing that had broken the law had taken place, neither were pressing charges so they need take no action.
You might of thought whatever had gone on - and I have no time for abuse within relationships - that would of been it perhaps with the odd word to mindful of publicity next time and work on any difficulties within their relationship as it isn't uncommon for people to row like cat and dog but in twenty-first century Britain it's not like that.
Neighbour Tom Penn and Partner had recorded  this which of itself isn't necessarily wrong as such recordings can be of use to the police in investigations and prosecutions where there are concerns about well-being or abuse but after the police had decided not to take any further action, they sent it to the Left-Liberal  Guardian newspaper to be published.
Tom Penn and several other residents are Labour Party Members and activists against Brexit who have campaigned against Mr Johnson both of which are supported by said newspaper.
Their explanation runs they felt it was in the public interest to release the (unauthorized) recording even though in deciding what they did the Police were saying actually it was NOT in the public interest to act as no offence had been  committed. They also added this was now a Liberal area and they didn't belong there anymore.
Not surprisingly a good number people feel the action by left wing activists were less about public interest and very much politically motivated as there was no public interest defence in publication.
Moreover this lead to more activists setting up camp outside the flat effectively forcing Mr Johnson and partner to flee so what was a domestic row that the police had decided warranted no attention had now become an attempt to hound out a politician out of their home because they disagreed with his views.
To me it just sums up where we are at with social justice warriors who cannot respect differences of points of view and feel it is acceptable to publish the  private matters of others who hold differing ones.
