General crackdown
Only an idiot would assume that ANYONE goes to a club, er NIGHTCLUB, in order to swill cups of single estate Darjeeling and nibble on cucumber sandwiches, sans crust. Coke was common, well certainly available at places like Cafe de Paris back in the 20s so the connection between clubbing and drugs is fairly well established.
IF you dont want people using drugs in clubs, then WHY LICENCE so fucking many of them in Brixton?
Maybe the council want to create some sort of cafe bar culture a la Barca,or Valencia - actually the charlie in Spanish bars is usually of very high quality so ref the "only 20% coke in the <powders>" sold in the Fridge maybe it aint such a bad idea......
It seems to me that Brixton has that "edge" so beloved of our "social commentators" who spew out bollocks about vibrance, diversity and all that but what they really mean is - I want a clean and santized, behind barbed wire experience so I can watch the weirdies in safety - the modern equivalent of going to Bedlam - so clean up the bars and clubs so they can gain vicarious joy from watching flocks of desperate junkies running thru the streets while sipping a long cool glass of wine. "Oh I say Justin, look at that one legged chap, isnt it charming?"
So, close the clubs, open more £5 a beer bars, run tours, invite Disney Corp to take over the council
Utterly pointless as kilos of crack will still change hands every day on CHL, the market, Rushcroft etc
Cant see any massive sweeps of that particular open air drugs market happening any day soon
