“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.

Summary: In response to RBKC’s vague liability denial, Polly Chromatic demands clarity on which sewer gas complaint the rejection refers to and reasserts the council’s housing enforcement duty.


I. What Happened

Following a liability denial from RBKC’s Giuseppe Morrone, Polly Chromatic replied on 11 March 2025 requesting:

– Confirmation of which complaint was being addressed
– The relevant reference number and details
– Clear instructions on how to escalate beyond Stage 1
– A reaffirmation that the Council does in fact have regulatory duties, even if the landlord owns the property
– An invitation to resolve the matter through transparent, documented communication


II. What the Record Establishes

• RBKC issued a non-specific rejection without naming the exact complaint
• Polly demanded specificity — which creates a paper trail of ambiguity on their end
• The duty of the Council to enforce standards was reasserted
• The document signals an intention to escalate, which is key for judicial or ombudsman review
• It confirms that the Council’s communication failures are part of the procedural harm


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a vague denial is no denial at all.
Because “which complaint?” should never be a question the victim has to ask.
Because this letter is the record of a demand for procedural clarity — and a refusal to be gaslit into silence.

SWANK logs every clarification request they forced you to send — and every silence that followed.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept vague rejections as lawful responses.
We do not accept that oversight of landlords is optional when the gas leak kills the air.
We do not accept that silence on escalation routes is anything but obstruction.

This wasn’t confusion. It was deliberate procedural fog.
And SWANK will document every sentence you had to write to get an answer.

Report, Wait, Hear Nothing: The BSB’s Eight-Week Wall of Legal Silence



⟡ “Please Use Our Online Form. We Do Not Reply.” ⟡
An Attempt to Report Legal Misconduct is Met with an Eight-Week Holding Pattern and a Link Loop

Filed: 28 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/BSB/EMAIL-01
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-05-28_SWANK_Email_BSB_AutoReplyLegalConductDisclosure.pdf
Summary: The Bar Standards Board (BSB) auto-responds to a legal conduct report with redirections, form requirements, and a declared blackout on case updates.


I. What Happened

At 19:25 on 28 May 2025, a formal misconduct disclosure was submitted to the Bar Standards Board regarding serious professional breaches in legal safeguarding contexts. The auto-reply from BSB stated the following:

– All reports must be submitted through an online form to be logged.
– No updates will be provided during the process.
– If the report is made by a barrister under rC66, the reporting party will not be informed of the outcome.
– General enquiries may take up to five days — or longer if reassigned.
– No responses will be given about specific conduct.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Legal oversight bodies impose procedural gates that actively discourage public accountability
• Even whistleblower disclosures involving barrister misconduct are treated with total opacity
• The system is designed to withhold outcomes — even from professional peers
• Eight-week silence is not an exception; it is embedded in policy
• No engagement or triage is offered for urgent risk-based disclosures
• Form dependence replaces institutional responsiveness


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is the regulating body of the legal profession — and its intake system mirrors the evasions it is meant to regulate.
Because a refusal to confirm, engage, or even acknowledge misconduct reports unless filtered through strict format control is not oversight. It's erasure via red tape.
Because legal retaliation cannot be reported to a form — and SWANK refuses to let proceduralism become the new silence.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that reporting professional misconduct must begin with a disclaimer of non-response.
We do not accept that legal oversight bodies may shield their own from scrutiny under the guise of process.
We do not accept that eight weeks of silence is an adequate duty of care — especially when the complaint involves barristers manipulating safeguarding systems.

This wasn’t intake. This was containment.
And SWANK will log every locked door until one opens.

Westminster Council Confirms It Holds the Records — But Imposes Identification Conditions Before Starting the Clock

Filed: 30 May 2025

Summary: Westminster City Council acknowledges a subject access request for social care case files and confirms the data is protected under the DPA — not FOI — delaying the start of the 30-day deadline until ID is re-submitted.


I. What Happened

On 22 May 2025, a subject access request was submitted to Westminster Council for all internal records between 1 February 2024 and 31 May 2025 related to you and your children, including communications about legal claims, safeguarding referrals, and retaliatory actions.

On 30 May 2025, Westminster responded: the request was valid, but would not be processed under FOI — only under the Data Protection Act 2018. They requested ID documents for both you and your children and stated that the 30-day response clock would not begin until those were received. They also warned the case would be closed after three months if documents were not submitted.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Westminster does not deny possession of highly sensitive internal communications and safeguarding records
• The Council uses data protection protocols to create delay before disclosure
• There is no proactive safeguarding triage — just a compliance procedure requiring identity re-validation
• The burden to unlock the records is fully placed on the subject — not the holder of the harm
• Institutional data control becomes a form of evidentiary power: the facts exist, but remain sealed
• This email affirms that case notes, internal emails, Mosaic logs, and legal mentions are held — but protected


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is the confirmation that the archive exists — and the bureaucracy surrounding it is not neutral.
Because while you are litigating discrimination and harm, the data needed to prove it is put behind a timed portal that the state controls.
Because when the Council holds your life’s receipts and makes you ask twice — that’s not privacy. It’s procedural superiority.

SWANK logs not just what they say — but what they delay.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that public records can be sequestered behind repeat ID hurdles while retaliation continues.
We do not accept that data control should be used to delay evidence access during live proceedings.
We do not accept that the Council’s timeline supersedes the urgency of the harm done.

This wasn’t data protection. This was gatekeeping.
And SWANK will archive every threshold they install.
