Islington Council has revoked the license of nightclub "Fabric" after the deaths of two clubbers as a result of MDMA triggered a licensing review.
The review found security was inadequate and staff were failing to intervene. Undercover officers witnessed drugs being openly sold in the venue, and problems identified in a review 2 years ago had not been addressed.
Charities and Sadiq Khan says the closure puts the future of London nightlife at risk, and several drugs charities have said that closing clubs put drug users at risk as they will use drugs in less regulated environments.
My immeidate reaction was in support of the Council closure, but on consideration, maybe the Mayor and charities have got a point? If drug taking is an inevitable part of clubbing and nightlife, then should clubs be providing support to drug users, rather than exluding them?
