Jobcentreplus turned up to the tribunal with no evidence, giving the task to an employee at the last minute who appeared to have no knowledge of the situation. Fortunately I had evidence that was difficult to refute, but you should never be put in a position of having to prove your innocence.  I gave Jobcentreplus minimum warning of the existence of this evidence, after all their actions against me deserved no quarter whatsoever.
There are serious privacy and civil liberties issues here. Nobody should be watching me in the first place. I asked my phone company if anybody went snooping around my my phone records. They assured me that they had not and would never give this information to anyone anyway without my personal password. This is difficult to believe because there is something called the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and soon to follow, this. What it amounts to is that it isn't safe to make a phone call or use the internet and email without anonymous proxies, encryption and email providers based outside the UK with proper consumer friendly laws. Interestingly when I started asking the people who work at Jobcentreplus, they weren't too keen on telling me the names of the people that had been writing lies about me. The two tier system seems to apply at every turn.
