		<description><![CDATA[Though there are real problems to be tackled in terms of ensuring accessibility and fair treatment for members of oppressed groups, the proposed &#8216;safe spaces&#8217; policy is over-elaborate, non-transparent, and open to abuse.

In the first, ComPlat supporter Laurie McCauley reports on worrying developments in the Manchester branch, where a motion of censure has been brought against one comrade, for comments on the internal email list expressing polite disagreement with other members: http://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1010/left-unity-what-safe-spaces-lead-to/ In other&#8230;<a href="http://communistplatform.org.uk/report-on-manchester-lu-the-gerry-adams-controversy/">Read more <span class="screen-reader-text">Report on Manchester LU, &#38; the Gerry Adams controversy</span></a>]]></description>
