Fabric loses it's license - Closes doors for good

[ubern00b]

this is a little bit unrelated but on the mention of the police. Where is the line of responsibility drawn between the police and the clubs for such laws being broken?

If the police can stand up and say that the club wasn't doing enough to stop drugs entering the club, cant the club stand up and say the police must have not been doing enough to prevent people possessing the drugs in the first place

Bravo sir. You typed yours out while I was typing mine but our sentiments match exactly.

Well the police arent the ones that require a license to operate via the council, literally they can revoke it for no reason at all if they wanted.

They gave the council a reason, and that's on them.

Also the Police arent bloody doormen for hire, they kinda have other duties.

Shayper out of a job then?

I have even witnessed said private room door being ajar and someone being given a beating (not the best way to deal with it but it goes some way to show they were TRYING).

Well that shows an incompetent management if ever I saw one.

The night tube is going to be pointless at this rate. Loads of clubs being shut down.

That's such a pity. One of London's most iconic clubs

And they do that how exactly?

There are many clubs who manage to keep drugs issues to a minimum, clearly Fabric couldn't or didn't want to do that. The Police can't just ignore that people are dying in this place.

The club should have investigated, rather than let the police do it for them.

can the club arrest someone for supplying?

What about the 108 people who died in police custody over the same period that the club was open? Shall we ignore that instead?

 

[Gee]

Shayper out of a job then?

Whatever happened to him?

 

[ubern00b]

Whatever happened to him?

He never played at Fabric but used to go on about it like he did. He used to have a slot on a radio station called Rough Tempo and was working on being a DnB DJ but Fabric was far far far out of his reach at that point in time.

The police HQ has not been earmarked for redevelopment though

I would have thought Scotland Yard was prime location

forgot about him!

The real reason for closing Fabric down is so they can build some luxury apartments there just in time for cross rail. They just needed an excuse to do it.

I've never been, don't know anything about the place.

I'd imagine this to be the real reason, drugs are just a smoke screen. The land will be wanted for something that can line ones pockets.

Always wanted to go when I was younger and I now work by the blumin' place

Shades of Wigan Casino in the seventies and the Hacienda (Manchester) in the eighties.

Ultimately all these venues do fail or close and it is not a conspiracy as new ones open to meet demand. Largely they outgrow their capabilities and to a large extent become stale, seedy and need reinvention.

Drugs have been around clubs forever and will never be totally eradicated, however if it is low scale and does not create chaotic scenes and mass hysteria, is likely to be tolerated by authority.

Delusional guy.

Just found one of his shows from RT on Soundcloud, albeit from 2 years ago. Not a bad mix tbh if you're into Jump-up. Hearing a lot of stuff from DJ Pleasure, DJ Sly and the Low Down Deep Recordings camp.

Didn't get end up getting banned from OcUK? I recall something about stolen goods?

His mixing was never bad, his track selection was decent but he was just new on the scene and with his amount of exposure and other DJ's up and coming at the time there was no way he just blasted on the scene and got a slot in Fabric!

And yes, he sold stuff on the MM that people never received. He did refund them in time and yes he is perma'd. From my recollection of events anyway.
