Public interest

We are told that police used CS gas to break up a fight in a House of Commons corridor as guests left a drinks party

We are told the name of the politician who hosted the event

We are given a quote from 2, unnamed, fellow guests who thought the police overreacted

We are not told the names of the two pugilists, so we can deduce that they were not politicians, footballers or celebrities

So is there absolutely no public interest in knowing who they were?

Of course not, silly. They were journalists
