“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

Does Anyone in the UK Do Anything Right?

A Legal-Aesthetic Inquiry into National Incompetence, Performed Live in Family Court


Filed: 4 August 2025
Reference Code: UK–VOID–EVERYTHING
PDF Filename: 2025-08-05_SWANK_Essay_UKLegalCollapse_DoTheyDoAnythingRight.pdf
Summary: A velvet scroll of grievances against a nation that seems to have outsourced basic competence to folklore.


I. What Happened

One woman. Four children.
Asthma. Sewer gas. NHS retaliation.
An illegal EPO based on a retracted referral.
A bundle of police reports, hospital letters, academic references, and child-authored evidence — submitted, formatted, timestamped, and legally framed.

And yet:

  • A social worker who doesn’t read

  • A court that cc’s the wrong solicitor

  • A contact centre that punishes crying

  • A council that meets every whistleblower with surveillance


II. What the Complaint Establishes

That we live in a country where:

  • Procedural law is a hobby, not a requirement

  • Safeguarding decisions are vibes-based

  • Medical records are discarded when they contradict the narrative

  • Disability rights are treated as optional depending on your tone

  • And children can be removed while the evidence proving otherwise sits in a PDF, unopened, because the inbox was full


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because somewhere between the tea, the Tories, and the three-week court backlog, someone needs to state plainly:

The UK no longer knows how to run a country.

Certainly not where law, child protection, or basic human dignity are concerned.
And if that sounds too harsh, may I direct you to the 23 documents filedzero acted upon, and four children suffering while everyone debates procedure.


IV. Violations

  • Article 3: Inhuman and degrading treatment — but bureaucratic

  • Article 6: Fair trial? You need eyes for that.

  • Article 8: Family life, shredded and handed to admin staff

  • Children Act 1989: Breached so often it now qualifies as abstract art

  • Professional Conduct Codes: Mostly used for tea-stained shelf decor


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not an error. It’s a style of governance.
The UK excels at two things:

  1. Pretending nothing happened.

  2. Repeating the above until someone gives up.

But SWANK will not.
We don’t give up. We give receipts.
