The video was controlled by the party It will be interesting to see if a prosecution takes place, but the party must demonstrate not that only 2 people had access to the data, but that it had rules in place at the time for control of data.
A lot of employment contracts now contain data handling terms.
The problem is that we have to separate out John's behaviour on the forum and the party's behaviour towards him in an unrelated matter. The party holds data on me. They can't put it in the public domain just because they don't like my behaviour on the forum. It's a non sequitur.
The best bet is to try to minimise damage and see of they can get away with the minimum of training from the Information Commissioner - an inconvenient slap on the wrist for the secretary and a warning for the party as a whole.
