And it's a calamity. Julie Sherry's article in the Guardian is appalling. It dodges every substantial criticism made of the SWP during this crisis. The only defence offered (that the matter was investigated and voted on) is actually what people find MOST offensive about the leadership's handling of the Delta case - that the leadership thought itself capable of investigating then ruling on an allegation of sexual assault. Even if it was a good article it has come out THREE months after the crisis broke; so much for interventionist leadership.
Here is a link to an IS Blog piece responding to the Guardian article.
