AN OVERVIEW FOR KIRSTY, WHO ENTERS LATE AND UNINFORMED
Filed Under: Medical Discrimination, Institutional Racism, Misuse of Police, Disabled Motherhood, Social Work Theatre, Kirsty Hornal's Entry
To: Kirsty Hornal, who enters this staged performance in Act III, Scene 7.
From: Polly Chromatic, who has lived every breathless line since Scene One.
Location: Flat 22, 2 Periwinkle Gardens, London W2
You’re arriving ten months late.
Here’s your script: it’s been rewritten in oxygen levels, missing medical care, false accusations, and the enduring grace of a mother who was too breathless to walk—yet still managed to move house, homeschool four children, and survive systematic assault by the very services designed to protect.
🦠 WHAT HAPPENED:
Our home filled with sewer gas.
My oxygen levels dropped to 89%.
I was refused emergency treatment multiple times.
Nine officers were sent to our hotel over a false racial accusation after I was attacked.
I could barely walk for six months, but still managed to secure a new flat and move.
Social workers harassed me the entire time—never offering help.
I finally paid privately for the medical care I was denied.
🧱 WHAT THIS IS:
A public services vendetta dressed as “concern.”
A mother penalised for being visibly ill, but not fragile enough.
A disabled woman punished for not collapsing in the expected way.
A family bullied because the mother is white and the children are mixed, and the public doesn’t know how to metabolise that.
📎 WHAT I SAID TO KIRSTY:
“The British community commonly calls social workers on me anytime they are upset.”
“These complaints are the result of discrimination… because I don’t look unwell.”
“I’ve been an outstanding mother.”
“I’ve been harassed by the community through public services.”
“The way I’ve been treated is absolutely disgraceful.”
🗣️ COMMUNICATION NOTE:
I have a medically documented disability that makes verbal communication difficult.
Please do not call me.
All communication should be in writing—this is a reasonable adjustment under the Equality Act 2010.
✒️ FINAL WORDS FOR THE FILE:
Kirsty, I’ve copied everyone because I keep hoping someone, somewhere in this kingdom of paperwork and prejudice, might finally believe me.
Let this serve as your onboarding document.
Polly Chromatic
Breathing, barely. Documenting, always.
