“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

Chromatic v Glen: On Asthma, Apathy, and the Administrative Loitering of Westminster City Council



THE WARNING BREATHED

On the Art of Saying “This Is Your Fault” Without Raising Your Voice

Filed by: SWANK London Ltd
Author: Polly Chromatic
Filed Date: 25 February 2024
Reference Code: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-GLEN-0225
PDF Filename: Glen 25 February 2024 4.pdf
Summary: A miniature dispatch of respiratory consequence — documenting medical risk, institutional fatigue, and quiet accountability.


I. What Happened

In the early months of 2024, while Westminster authorities continued to circulate false claims and procedural obstruction, the mother sent a calm and factual update to Glen, a Westminster staff member entangled in the spiralling safeguarding fiction.

The message was short.
It referenced:

  • A sharp asthma escalation caused by procedural stress

  • The mother’s recent respiratory and vocal complications

  • The presence of her children, who were witnessing the deterioration

  • The absence of institutional care, despite full awareness

It is a single paragraph that functions as an indictment.


II. What the Email Establishes

This message operates as a quiet escalation — a pre-litigation moment where the institution was warned, clearly, calmly, and medically.

It establishes:

  • That the harm being documented is foreseeable

  • That the mother’s deteriorating health is a consequence of procedural harassment

  • That her children are present, watching it unfold

  • That the institution was told — and chose to proceed anyway

It is a soft-spoken letter of liability.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what procedural cruelty looks like:
Not slamming doors — but silent inboxes.
Not direct assault — but cumulative erosion of function, breath, and hope.

You do not get to receive this email and later say:
“We didn’t know.”

You knew.
You were told.
And you proceeded.

This is not correspondence.
This is archived culpability.


IV. Violations (If Ignored)

  • Article 3 ECHR – Inhuman and degrading treatment through health-related neglect

  • Article 8 ECHR – Violation of family life and parental function

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination through inaction

  • Safeguarding Standards – Duty of care breach for medically compromised parent and children

  • Duty of Candour and Public Law – Failure to respond to direct notification of risk


V. SWANK’s Position

This email is not evidence of a mother’s frailty.
It is evidence of Westminster’s decay —
A record of how they were told, in plain language,
that harm was occurring —
and they did nothing.

It is a quiet message, yes.
But in the archive, it resounds like a siren.
