Yes it is... but it was the police that have made recommendations to them so if people are going to propose some sort of conspiracy here then the question re: the police's motivations is still valid.
But the two recent deaths were of people who purchased drugs inside the club and the evidence included undercover police visiting the club and witnessing drug use by clubbers in view of fabric staff... given that they were already on thin ice in 2014 it was silly not to take a hardline approach inside the venue
for example - back in 2015:

so they actively fought against tougher drug control measures, then undercover police witness open drug use and two more deaths occur at the venue... it isn't like they weren't already warned.

No chance. Even if 150mg x4, 0.6 of a g, won't kill you. You actually need to take a lot of MDMA to kill yourself.
That or drink too much or too little water.

that is nonsense, the report by the police was fundamental in this
Lol, you sad sack.
For ages I wanted to go here and never got around to it. It also had sick line ups with the best djs and nights. Looking at some of the events at times gave me goosebumps and I never even went! So gutted I will never get to go now and I should have years ago. The Fabriclive cds are some of the best mix compilations you can get, I end up buying so many of them!
It's pretty sad state of affairs the music scene in the UK looking in from the outside, of what I perceive it to be. Swindon use to have a decent club and that shut down and along with any musical culture this lame town use to have. Up and down the country clubs have closed and along with it part of the scene. The UK seems to be pretty huge in the electronic scene with great artists and djs yet we do nothing to help support this.

Only been once, back in 2004, but I am saddened by this. 50% of London's clubs have closed over the past 8 years.
I literally have 4 venues that I attend now, whereas back in 2005 there were too many parties for me to even try and go to them all.
Every club, be it "proper" ones, or cheesy high street jobbies, are full of people on drugs. Best close them all, then people would surely stop... pffft

Also, you cant really use dropping 4 pills in 15 mins as an example of club drug culture. This is more idiot culture and happens rarely, the equivalent of dropping 2 paracetamol, then dropping 8 more in an hour because you still have a headache... except the paracetamol would have way worse effects if you had 10 vs 4 medium strength mdma pills
I'm sorry but i have to re-quote this. This is just so funny because of how out of touch it is. This could be straight out of the daily mail.
What sort of gangs go to fabric?
Who in their right mind goes to fabric and cracks out some bud for a smoke to chill out on a loud vibrating dancefloor?
Fabric never promoted drug culture, it was just a venue for congregation. If they close your local pub, would you just never drink again?

I can tell you from experience that you can't get away with just obviously doing drugs in front of staff/bouncers in there. I have seen so many people dragged out and removed for doing so.

London is just gonna be Luxury flats (that no one can afford) and offices (that no one wants to work at) by the time the councils are finished with it.
Just look at whats happened to Vancouver, loads of chinese buying houses leaving them empty so they can hide their ill gotten gains.
You know I hear that a lot, then people don't even test it. Even then people use the marquis test, MDMA may be present but it can't tell you what else is included (Or how much).
It's funny how sure they seem, but I guess anything to rationalise drug usage.
The BBC did something similar at a festival here in the UK, most of what people were buying was not as advertised. Thankfully a lot of times you probably just end up with caffeine or something, then the odd occasion it's a RC from China. There are so many things MDMA can be cut with.

You can use multiple tests (multiple re-agents) though to test for other adulterants and look at the colour the test changes to. Straight to black/deep purple is a good indicator but if you look closely and notice green or yellow in the tinge then it is a good indicator of various adulterants.
The one that always grinds my gears is "i buy crystal because its pure, it's a rock". Sure, because you cannot re-rock (compress) something that is adulterated. People are so far out of touch with what they take and it is purely down to one thing: education. "My mate dave who is always off his face and knows his stuff said this". Dave doesn't know what he is talking about 90% of the time. Spreading misinformation is sometimes worse than no information.
You may well have seen some being taken away and yet the undercover police officers were able to witness it which it the important thing here.
(obviously though that is just lies because the Met secretly wants a dozen flats that it won't profit from to be built on the site)

Security in there have always been too lenient and I used to go there 15 years ago, soon after it opened.
Surprised it was not closed down sooner tbh. Still, is a shame.

Security was improved a few years back. From what i see, that place has better security in club and at entrance than most places. I have even had inside pockets of my wallet checked after a pat down.
I have been through airports pre 9/11 with less security.
They were heralded as the "Gold Standard" and one which by all other clubs should follow for their security practices. The whole "police observing drug taking or deals going down" thing happened in 2016, the club was never informed that this had taken place and nothing was ever said about it until now. All of the "evidence" is hearsay at best.
