Crumbling belligerence?
Yesterday, I received the following letter from Brent Council and publish it here in its entirety, unedited except to remove my personal address;
Town Hall Annexe
Forty Lane
Wembley
Middlesex
HA9 9HDDX145100 Wembley Central 2

29th July 2009Dear Mr Leamy
Re: Defamatory Material, Material published infringing copyright, harassment and housing related anti-social behaviour
I last wrote to you on 23rd January 2009. You published an extract from my letter on your website with a response by you. In this response you said you had removed from the website accusations of deliberate corruption or dishonesty. You also said that you had removed photographs of Helen Evans and Gareth Daniel. These moves are welcomed. You also stated a desire to 'Allow the relationship between Brent Council and myself to return to its former cordial state. Then we can move forward, and resume the rest of our lives…' The Council is entirely in agreement with you as regards this sentiment.
However, you have put further material on your website and emailed it to council officers. I am referring to your statements 'Why did Dack lie?' of 19th April 2009; 'Evans is dishonest, Part 1' of 27th June 2009; and 'Rogue's Gallery' of 18th October 2008 revised on 29th June 2009. It is quite unclear to me why you continue to repeat such defamatory material.
As a final attempt to avoid court proceedings council officers have indicated to me that they are prepared to send an appropriate independent mediator to speak with you. The aim would be to see what it is you want so that we can all find a constructive way forward. I should make clear that the Council will not re-open previous investigations.
I await to hear from you.Yours faithfully,

Because of the apparently conciliatory nature of this letter, I am postponing publication of the post Evans is dishonest, Part 2. This post reveals further evidence of the dishonesty of the Council employee Helen Evans.
‘…what it is [I] want…’
Respond to the following 20 issues by acknowledging that;
1 – the Council agree it failed adequately to deal with my complaints of nuisance caused by the neighbour identified throughout Bent Council as nfh
2 – the Council agree it acted incompetently in response to some of these complaints of nuisance
3 – the Council agree it acted corruptly in response to some of these complaints of nuisance
4 – the Council agree that events described throughout Bent Council are a true and accurate description of the Council's response to these complaints of nuisance
5 – the Council agree it had no credible evidence in its possession that my attitude towards nfh was 'hostile to the point of contempt'. If such evidence is in the Council's possession, present it to me
6 – the Council agree it manipulated and deceived the Ombudsman by withholding relevant information
7 – the Council agree it manipulated and deceived the Ombudsman by failing to draw the Ombudsman's attention to relevant information
8 – the Council agree it manipulated and deceived the Ombudsman by presenting false, inaccurate and incomplete information
9 – the Council agree it set out deliberately to mislead, to manipulate and to deceive the Ombudsman in its response to my complaints against the Council
10 – the Council agree it acted corruptly in its response to my complaints against the Council to the Ombudsman
11 – the Council agree that events described throughout Bent Council are a true and accurate description of the Council's deception of the Ombudsman in 2002/3 and again in 2005/6
12 – the Council agree to send a letter to each of my 9 immediate neighbours explaining that the noise nuisance I was forced to cause in 2003 was because of the Council's failure to deal with the nuisance caused to me by nfh – their full postal addresses will be provided to the Council. There is no requirement to identify the implicated individual Council employees
13 – the Council agree to attach an apology with this explanation to each of these 9 neighbours
14 – the Council agree I be consulted on the acceptability of the Council's explanation and apology to these 9 neighbours
15 – the Council accept that a side effect of the Council's leaseholder agreement with nfh was the removal of some of my rights as the Council's tenant
16 – the Council agree to restore these rights by re-negotiating the Council's leaseholder agreement with the leaseholder identified throughout Bent Council as nfh
17 – the Council agree I be consulted on the restoration of these rights prior to its re-negotiation of this leaseholder agreement with nfh
18 – the Council agree its behaviour in relation to the issues set out in Bent Council has had an unacceptable toll on my health
19 – the Council agree to make a formal, unreserved apology to me
20 – the Council agree to compensate me fairly for the disruption to my life caused by the Council's actions and behaviour in relation to the issues set out in Bent Council
Then, and only then…
Should Brent Council fail to provide an acceptable response individually to each of these 20 conditions within a reasonable time-frame, I will proceed with publication of Evans is dishonest, Part 2, revealing further evidence of the Council employee Evans' dishonesty and manipulation of the Ombudsman.
All material describing incompetence, dishonesty and corruption by identified Council employees, presently as set out on this website, will remain unchanged. Those Council employees whom I have identified as engaging in these unacceptable practices will remain identified. Advertising of this website will increase substantially, employing a wider range of Internet-based sources than previously, and which also will include the use of a range of traditional, paper-based media.
Should the Council respond constructively, however, within a reasonable time-frame, such that each of these 20 conditions are met fully and without reservation, then, and only then, will I be satisfied I have been treated fairly.
In response, I will abandon the proposed publication of Evans is dishonest, Part 2, including the proposed increased advertising. Furthermore, without delay, I will remove from Bent Council all material identifying those individual Brent Council employees whom I have accused of incompetence, dishonesty and corruption. However, until I have received confirmation of the Council's compliance with these individual 20 conditions, nothing on this website will be removed.
Then, and only then, will Brent Council have allowed our relationship to return to its formerly cordial state. Then, and only then, will this unpleasant confrontation have been ended, hopefully amicably, for both parties.
Update—31-7-10
Evans is dishonest, Part 2 will be published at a future date.
