“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: The Emergency Filing That Was Answered With a Link to a Toilet Assistance Form Or, How RBKC Perfected the Art of Outsourcing Human Dignity to Google Forms



⟡ The Borough That Answered Emergency Claims With a Referral Link for Showering Support ⟡

Or, When RBKC Suggested That Emotional Deprivation Could Be Solved by Shopping Help

Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Automatic_Reply_RBKC_Safeguarding_Matters.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, the Claimant submitted a formal safeguarding update to RBKC regarding:

  • The unlawful seizure of her four U.S. citizen children

  • The absence of lawful threshold

  • Ongoing legal claims involving Westminster and RBKC

  • Institutional racism, medical neglect, and forced separation

The reply?

“Thank you for your email. Please use our new online referral form if you would like advice on washing, dressing, or going to the toilet.”


II. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you file a legal notice about racial discrimination, safeguarding misuse, and international legal violations — and the reply suggests help with cleaning and shopping,
what you have received is not assistance, but theatrical redirection.

Because this was a safeguarding complaint, not a domestic mobility issue.

Because the inbox for child protection is now apparently rerouted to the same form used for “looking after yourself.”

Because no human name, no acknowledgment of the case, no reference to the children or legal filings appeared —
only a message about business hours and bathing.


III. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. hereby classifies this email as:

  • Disrespectful

  • Administratively evasive

  • And emblematic of the bureaucratic reduction of crisis into a tickbox menu

This was not a response. It was a safeguarding eclipse.

We log it not as communication, but as a semi-automated barrier designed to reclassify emergency as inconvenience.

In Re: A Council’s Courteous Refusal to Meaningfully Act Or, When Reassurance Became the Delivery Method for Exclusion



⟡ Westminster Replies: With Reassurance, Retaliation, and Braids ⟡

Or, How a Bureaucrat Managed to Be Condescending, Incomplete, and Procedurally Decorative in One Email

2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Response_to_Queries_Contact_Medical_Care_And_Procedural_Issues.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, Sam Brown of Westminster City Council sent a multipoint reply to the Claimant, responding to urgent concerns with the tone of a cheery concierge — only without any key.

The email attempts to:

  • Frame parental exclusion as a scheduling issue

  • Reassure the parent that asthma appointments are now “rescheduled”

  • Insist that 10am contact times are universally suitable

  • Offer procedural scraps like letter drops and bracelet deliveries

  • Ask for consent to braid a child’s hair, while still denying the father access

In short: it offers everything but remedy.


II. Procedural Pageantry, Not Protection

While wrapped in “warm regard,” this email:

  • Repeats the requirement for a behavioural pledge to access face-to-face contact

  • Admits that the children’s personal devices are being withheld

  • States that appointments were rescheduled without parental consultation

  • Offers to “review” letters before allowing children to read them

  • Assigns the Claimant’s basic parental rights to administrative approval processes

  • Fails to explain why the Claimant or father were excluded in the first place

It is reassurance as refusal — procedural theatre as parenthood’s replacement.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because nothing exemplifies the bureaucratic imagination like this kind of email.

Because it takes a special kind of institutional gall to respond to civil litigation, diplomatic distress, and child traumawith:

“Would you like someone else to collect the bracelets?”

Because braiding permissions do not resolve Article 8 violations.
Because the phone PIN for the father still hasn’t arrived.
Because trauma isn’t soothed with bullet points and polite obstruction.


IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this correspondence as:

  • Aesthetic proceduralism masquerading as engagement

  • Obstruction in the language of cooperation

  • A document of ongoing parental alienation camouflaged as child welfare

This is not care. It is case management’s attempt to perform benevolence while excluding lawful rights, neutralising urgency, and safeguarding its own liability.

No, Sam — it does not “cover all the queries.”
