Thornberry, whose constituency includes fabric, said the decision "sets a worrying precedent at a time when we are already losing many of our nightclubs." She also took aim at the Metropolitan Police. "I have been disgusted by the police's attitude in this," Thornberry wrote on Facebook. "The suggestion that fabric should change its name and music was wrong. Should there be an approved Met Police playlist, with Brian Adams or something?" Read the full statement below.
