Summary: From Tudor pyres to Westminster parenting plans, England has never lost its appetite for compulsory sameness.
I. What Happened
England has always preferred the obedient to the original. In every age, dissenters were polished down until they gleamed with conformity or burned until they ceased to exist. The symbols change — crucifix, catechism, curriculum — but the logic is constant: individuality is treated as sedition.
II. What This Reflection Establishes
That Westminster’s present-day manoeuvres — care orders, “risk” conjured from thin air, and the bureaucratic confiscation of children — are not innovation but inheritance. The genealogy is unbroken: Henry’s Oath of Supremacy, Mary’s flames, Elizabeth’s recusancy fines, Cromwell’s bans, Victorian moral incarceration. Westminster social workers are merely the latest heirs in a long line of holy busybodies.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because coercion has always been draped in righteousness. Where kings invoked God, social workers invoke “safeguarding.” Where parliaments demanded loyalty, Westminster demands compliance. What unites them is the conviction that they alone define “normal,” and that difference — whether asthma, accent, or maternal autonomy — must be disciplined out of existence.
IV. Violations
Article 8 ECHR (Family Life): Family bonds ruptured on the altar of orthodoxy.
Equality Act 2010: Disability rebranded as deviance, dissent reclassified as defect.
Children Act 1989 (misapplied): Invoked not as shield but as cudgel.
Historical Precedent: A nation rehearsing its oldest sins in the language of welfare.
V. SWANK’s Position
There is nothing novel in Westminster’s posture. Bloody Mary called it heresy. Elizabeth called it recusancy. Cromwell called it godliness. The Victorians called it respectability. Westminster calls it safeguarding.
SWANK calls it what it has always been: coercive conformity, disguised as virtue, enforced through fear. And we file it accordingly.
