“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In Re: “Thank You” v. The Legal Meaning of Receipt Or, How a Borough Traded Urgency for Tone


⟡ In the Court of Courteous Contempt ⟡

Or, When a Borough Thanked You for Your Complaint Without Reading It

Metadata

Filed: 4 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/RBKC/FACADE/COMPLAINTS
Filed by: Polly Chromatic 
Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Thank_You_Email_RBKC_Complaints.pdf

I. What Happened

At 12:44 on 4 July 2025, the Claimant submitted a formal complaint to RBKC regarding racial discrimination, medical destabilisation, and the unlawful seizure of her four disabled U.S. citizen children.

RBKC’s full reply?

“Thank you for your email.”
“We aim to reply within 3 working days.”
Here’s a privacy notice.
Goodbye.

II. The Bureaucratic Ballet of Non-Engagement

Rather than:

  • Acknowledge the named children

  • Confirm receipt of the issues raised

  • Issue a complaint number

  • Reference the 23-defendant civil claim

  • Engage with any urgency, risk, or rights

RBKC delivered a metaphysical shrug.

They essentially said:

“Thank you for flagging your civil trauma.
We’ll get back to you after lunch. Maybe.”

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a thank you is not always gratitude — sometimes it’s evasion with good grammar.

Because when an institution receives a 5-page complaint detailing:

  • Consular neglect

  • Disability-based exclusion

  • Medical endangerment

  • Judicial obstruction

…and replies with a boilerplate email about GDPR,
you’re no longer speaking to a borough —
you’re speaking to a curtain.

IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this correspondence as:

  • Procedurally vacant

  • Aesthetic in nature only

  • And entirely devoid of accountability or institutional character

This message will be retained in the archive as:

  • Evidence of administrative staging

  • Proof of RBKC’s failure to acknowledge live safeguarding threats

  • And an example of how tone is often used to displace response

We thank them for their thank-you.
The archive is not impressed.
