Chromatic v Transport for London (No. 62): On the Performance of Authority by Those Who Do Not Possess It



⟡ THE TFL STATION INCIDENT: A STUDY IN STATE-ADJACENT ATTITUDE DISORDER ⟡


Filed: 29 November 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/TfL/03ANNEX-QUEENSWAY
PDF: 2025-11-29_PC32003_03Annex_Police_CFC_TfL_VerbalHarassment_QueenswayStation.pdf
Summary: A TfL employee attempts hostility-as-policy; fails. Police report filed by Polly Chromatic.


I. WHAT HAPPENED

On 29 November 2025, Polly Chromatic encountered a TfL employee at Queensway Station whose conduct suggested a profound misunderstanding of:

  • their role,

  • their remit,

  • their authority,

  • and the limits of acceptable professional behaviour.

The staff member launched into an unprovoked verbal attack — not to uphold any rule, but to ventilate their personal irritation in the direction of an unsuspecting passenger.

The employee’s attempt to convert rudeness into regulation was so poorly executed that Polly, unsurprised but unmoved, filed a formal police report documenting the incident.

This was not enforcement.
This was attitude performed as policy.


II. WHAT THE DOCUMENT ESTABLISHES

This Annex entry establishes:

  1. TfL’s frontline employees continue to operate on the principle that mood equals mandate.

  2. The staff member approached Polly Chromatic with hostility, not reason, attempting to assert dominance where no authority existed.

  3. The attack was unprovoked and unrelated to safety, policy, or passenger behaviour.

  4. The burden of accountability, as usual, fell on the mother — not the employee.
    Polly had to initiate the police report, because the institution would not have.

  5. The incident did not occur in isolation, but within a wider ecosystem of state-adjacent hostility directed at a disabled mother separated from her four medically vulnerable children:
    Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir.

  6. This is part of a recognisable pattern:
    when public-sector culture collapses, the first casualty is civility — the second is professionalism.


III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

SWANK logs this incident because:

  • It forms part of the micro-aggression architecture surrounding the institutional retaliation faced by Polly.

  • It illustrates how easily public-facing employees confuse customer service roles with quasi-policing.

  • It demonstrates how hostility toward Polly is not isolated to one department, but diffuse across the public-service landscape.

  • It connects directly to the larger narrative of state escalation, surveillance, and administrative harassment after the removal of Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir.

  • It preserves, for judicial contemplation, a perfect example of state-adjacent misconduct that would otherwise disappear into the daily entropy of London transport.

This is not anecdote.
This is evidence of climate.


IV. APPLICABLE STANDARDS & VIOLATIONS

• TfL Code of Conduct — abandoned in favour of personal agitation.
• Public Sector Equality Duty (EqA 2010 s.149) — ignored despite disability disclosures.
• Article 8 ECHR — Respect for private life — interfered with through unnecessary confrontation.
• Customer Service Obligations — replaced with hostility-as-hobby.
• Safeguarding Environment Duty — rendered laughable in context.


V. SWANK’S POSITION

SWANK states, with judicial calm and unearned generosity:

Aggression performed by a uniformed employee is not authority; it is theatre.
And poorly produced theatre at that.

TfL is hereby reminded that:

  • hostility is not a transport policy,

  • verbal aggression is not enforcement,

  • and passengers — especially disabled mothers enduring institutional retaliation — are not practice targets.

The police report stands as a testament to the dysfunction of frontline public-service culture.

This incident, now preserved as Exhibit TfL–62, forms part of the Mirror-Court Archive documenting the ambient hostility orbiting Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir.

Formal Complaint Under the Equality Act 2010: Systemic Disability Discrimination and the Artful Refusal of Reasonable Adjustments



🦚 Formal Complaint Under the Equality Act 2010: Systemic Disability Discrimination and the Artful Refusal of Reasonable Adjustments

Filed under the solemn documentation of unlawful exclusion, retaliatory practice, and institutional disdain dressed as procedure.


10 March 2025
To: The Complaints Department
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
Children’s Services
Town Hall, Hornton Street, London, W8 7NX
Subject: Formal Complaint Under the Equality Act 2010 – Systemic Disability Discrimination and the Artful Refusal of Reasonable Adjustments


🧾 Dear Sir or Madam,

It is with weary precision and legally substantiated exasperation that I submit this formal complaint concerning the conduct of social workers operating under RBKC Children’s Services.

The matter concerns the persistent failure to implement reasonable adjustments, as required under the Equality Act 2010, and an alarming pattern of retaliation, exclusion, and bureaucratic cruelty, thinly disguised as “support.”

Let us dispense with euphemism:

This is not a misunderstanding. It is disability discrimination —
delivered with procedural flair and administrative apathy.


📜 1. Refusal to Provide Reasonable Adjustments

(Despite Law, Logic, and Letters)

I have been both medically documented and repeatedly explicit in asserting my need for written-only communication, due to the following chronic conditions:

  • Eosinophilic asthma

  • Muscle tension dysphonia

  • Severe panic disorder

These conditions render verbal interaction not only distressing, but medically harmful.

And yet, RBKC Children’s Services has:

  • Refused written correspondence, even when formally requested;

  • Insisted on verbal engagement, in direct defiance of medical advisories;

  • Denied access to advocacy, alternative formats, or disability-informed processes.

What I require to participate has been systematically withheld —
not through error, but through informal policy masquerading as professionalism.


📜 2. Harassment and Retaliation Disguised as Practice

Following my insistence on rights and legal protection, I have been met not with accommodation, but with calculated resistance:

  • Unannounced home visits, clearly designed to coerce;

  • Fabricated or misleading documentation, weaponised to justify intrusion;

  • Disruption to my children’s education and wellbeing, instigated by institutional pressure;

  • A sustained pattern of retaliation, implying that requesting lawful accommodations is viewed internally as an affront.

This is not safeguarding.
It is administrative punishment.


📜 3. Legal Breach: Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 & 29

The behaviour of RBKC social workers constitutes a clear and ongoing breach of statutory duty:

  • Section 20: Failure to implement reasonable adjustments to prevent disadvantage;

  • Section 29: Failure to protect against harassment and victimisation in service provision.

What I have experienced is not oversight.
It is a textbook case of unlawful discrimination, delivered beneath the polished crest of one of the wealthiest boroughs in the UK.


📜 4. Remedies (i.e., the Absolute Minimum)

Accordingly, I request that RBKC Children’s Services:

  1. Formally acknowledge its violation of the Equality Act 2010;

  2. Confirm that all future communication will be conducted in writing;

  3. Cease all retaliatory activity, including unsolicited home visits and procedural intimidation;

  4. Issue a formal written apology, recognising the distress caused;

  5. Implement mandatory disability awareness training, with specific reference to communication-related conditions and non-visible disabilities.


📜 5. Next Steps (and Consequences of Continued Evasion)

If a satisfactory response is not received within 28 days, I will escalate without delay to:

  • The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGO)

  • The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)

  • Formal legal proceedings to pursue redress for discrimination and statutory breach

I expect acknowledgment of this complaint and an explanation — if one exists —
of what steps RBKC intends to take that rise above its usual threshold of institutional inertia.


📜 Yours,

With due and documented formality,
Polly
