“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.

She Asked for Support. They Remembered Snacks.


⟡ She Disclosed Panic Attacks. Kirsty Replied About Her Lunch. ⟡
When a mother said “I can’t breathe,” the social worker remembered her Waitrose bag.

A stunning record of emotional transparency met with bureaucratic detachment: the parent discloses panic attacks, safeguarding trauma, and verbal interaction exemptions — Kirsty Hornal replies with performative compassion and a note about accidentally leaving her lunch behind.

I. What Happened

The parent explained everything:
– That safeguarding visits triggered PTSD.
– That verbal interaction caused medical distress.
– That panic and silence were not defiance — they were symptoms.

Kirsty replied:
– “Sorry to hear that.”
– “Hope you’re feeling better.”
– “I left my lunch there.”

It wasn’t a reply. It was a resignation from reality.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That the parent issued a detailed mental health and disability disclosure

  • That Kirsty Hornal trivialised it with informal tone and unrelated remarks

  • That the boundary between support and surveillance had collapsed into farce

  • That institutional responses are often not responses at all — just deflections

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because trauma isn’t cured by small talk.
Because safeguarding isn’t lunch club.
And because if you think forgetting your sandwich is more important than a panic disclosure,
you don’t need access to a child — you need supervision yourself.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Medical Disclosure

  • Breach of Professional Conduct in Written Communication

  • Emotional Harm via Trivialisation of Disability and PTSD

  • Blurring of Professional Boundaries

  • Dereliction of Safeguarding Duty

V. SWANK’s Position

The mother came forward with fear.
The State came back with groceries.
You don’t reply to trauma with therapy-scented emojis and a note about your tote bag.
You either escalate appropriately —
or resign.

Her Oxygen Was Low. Their Empathy Was Lower.


⟡ She Reported Disability Symptoms. He Replied, “Please Stop.” ⟡
Metropolitan Police Officer Aminur Rashid responds to a safeguarding-related medical update the only way he knows how: with contempt.

An email chain documenting the parent’s attempt to update professionals — including NHS and safeguarding staff — about severe breathing complications and GP failures. Officer Aminur Rashid’s reply: “Please stop forwarding me to these emails.”

I. What Happened

The parent — disabled, non-verbal, and responsible for four children — issued a health alert.
Her oxygen was dropping. Her GP had failed to act.
She forwarded the information to relevant professionals, as instructed.
Officer Aminur Rashid responded with a single line:
“Please stop forwarding me to these emails.”
No question. No concern. No duty of care.
Just digital dismissal in the face of medical risk.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That a serving Metropolitan Police officer dismissed a disabled parent’s urgent health report

  • That this occurred during active safeguarding scrutiny and legal reporting

  • That institutional actors were present on the thread and did not intervene

  • That respiratory symptoms and housing-related medical risk were not investigated

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because telling a disabled parent to “stop emailing” about their own survival is not just rude — it’s dereliction.
Because public institutions should not require a death certificate before they start listening.
And because this wasn’t a meltdown — it was a medical fact.
Ignored.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Neglect of Duty in Police Safeguarding Context

  • Discrimination by Dismissal of Medically Disabled Reporting Parent

  • Failure to Investigate Documented Health Risk

  • Obstruction of Health Disclosure via Verbal Shutdown

  • Multi-agency Complicity Through Non-Response

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to ask for communication and then punish it.
You don’t get to demand updates and then delete them unread.
This was not excessive — it was survival.
And now, it’s evidence.
Let it be known: when she was short of breath, the police ran out of patience first.

When Hospitals Harm: How GSTT Weaponised Silence, Safeguarding & Non-Response


🎩 DISPATCH No. 2025-06-02–PHSO–GSTT-INDECENT-PROTRACTED
Filed Under: NHS Delays, Disability Dismissals & Safeguarding Farce

💼 Subject:

Formal Escalation – Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust

Unresolved Complaint, Retaliatory Safeguarding & Clinical Incompetence

Dear Sir or Madam,

What follows is not a fresh complaint, but the remains of one—left to rot in the inboxes of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, untouched, unanswered, and untreated for over twelve weeks.

On 10 March 2025, I submitted a complaint concerning two medical incidents at St Thomas’ Hospital (4 November 2024 & 2 January 2025). Since then, the Trust has responded with prolonged silence—a delay not merely inconsiderate but procedurally unconscionable.

I now formally request that the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman intervene, as the Trust appears unwilling or unable to locate its statutory obligations, let alone fulfil them.

🩺 Summary of Malpractice and Mayhem:

  • On both occasions, I arrived in respiratory distress (eosinophilic asthma).

  • I was denied proper treatment, and reasonable adjustments were pointedly refused—despite diagnosed communication disabilities (vocal cord dysfunction and muscle tension dysphonia).

  • My repeated, lawful requests for written communication were ignored, as if decorum were optional.

  • The Trust retaliated with a safeguarding referral so baseless it collapsed into farce, culminating in police interference at our hotel and harm to my children.

This sequence of events—a collision of incompetence, arrogance, and contempt—amounts to:

  • A breach of the Equality Act 2010

  • A direct affront to the NHS Constitution

  • And a clear failure to offer dignified, accessible, or lawful care

📎 Documentation (For Those Who Read):

I enclose my Written Communication Statement, which outlines the statutory basis and medical rationale for written-only engagement. It is also available online, for the benefit of institutions with a penchant for misplacing attachments:
🔗 Written Communication Statement

🕯 The Ask (Since It Must Be Spelled Out):

  • That the PHSO accept and investigate this complaint as a matter of urgency

  • That the Trust’s inertia and misconduct be examined for what they are: calculated institutional dereliction

This submission is issued under the insignia of SWANK London Ltd., a documentation authority intolerant of administrative melodrama masquerading as governance.

Yours in barbed civility,

I Couldn’t Speak. You Called It Silence.


⟡ You Watched Me Collapse in Real Time. Then Asked for Updates. ⟡
“I was gasping. You were silent. And then you asked if I’d followed up.”

Filed: 14 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-18
📎 Download PDF – 2024-12-14_SWANK_EmailStatement_WCC_HospitalAbandonment_DisabilityDismissal_CrisisCommunication.pdf
Personal email to Westminster Children’s Services describing exhaustion, unacknowledged communication barriers, and failure to coordinate with NHS providers during ongoing medical crises.

I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a written statement to Westminster Children’s Services after weeks of institutional disengagement and safeguarding interference.

The message included:

  • Confirmation that the parent was physically unwell and emotionally drained

  • Reference to a total lack of response or coordination from WCC during repeated hospital visits

  • Frustration that she was expected to follow up with doctors — after having already done so in writing

  • A reminder that she was medically exempt from verbal communication and had provided documentation repeatedly

  • A sense of procedural gaslighting: “I was dying. You didn’t notice.”

The message was not a request for contact. It was a notification of harm.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster failed to respond to multiple written medical updates

  • That disability adjustments were again ignored, even while the parent was visibly unwell

  • That the burden of coordination was placed entirely on a disabled parent under stress

  • That safeguarding oversight occurred without support, acknowledgment, or collaboration

  • That the system’s silence was not benign — it was erasure

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a disabled mother is gasping for air,
and the system asks why she hasn’t followed up,
that’s not just failure —
that’s institutional mockery.

Because when they expect updates from the person they refused to accommodate,
you’re not seeing a lack of care.
You’re seeing the strategy of plausible deniability.

And because when no one replies,
the archive does.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to honour written-only communication adjustment

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
    Psychological and physical distress exacerbated by institutional silence

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Refusal to engage in active safeguarding coordination with NHS teams

  • Care Act 2014 – Communication Duty
    Failure to communicate during active medical risk scenarios

V. SWANK’s Position

We did follow up.
You just didn’t read it.

We did escalate.
You just didn’t respond.

This wasn’t neglect.
It was willful silence.

So we sent one last email —
and now, we’ve filed it.

£2.1 Million in Damages for One Doctor’s Shrug


⟡ The Professor Who Let Me Suffocate ⟡

Filed: 1 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/GMC/BRANLEY-NEGLIGENCE
📎 Download PDF — 2025-05-01_SWANK_GMC_Complaint_ProfHowardBranley_RespiratoryNegligence_DisabilityDismissal_£2.1MClaim.pdf

I. £2.1 Million in Damages for One Doctor’s Shrug

This formal complaint to the General Medical Council (GMC) documents the clinical negligence of Professor Howard Branley, a consultant respiratory physician who:

  • Ignored documented diagnoses of Eosinophilic Asthma

  • Failed to respond to repeated episodes of respiratory collapse

  • Refused to initiate safeguarding referrals after observing abuse markers

  • Breached ethical duty by erasing disability evidence at the point of care

His silence became a ventilatory risk.
His prestige became his alibi.

II. The Clinic Was a Courtroom. He Withheld the Defence.

Professor Branley’s actions included:

  • Withholding diagnoses despite clinical evidence

  • Mischaracterising a patient with known PTSD and dysphonia

  • Failing to protect a child present during critical appointments

  • Issuing no follow-up plan despite acute respiratory dysfunction

This was not forgetfulness.
This was procedural euthanasia of care — dressed in NHS letterhead.

He chose to believe policy over pulse oximetry.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because disability dismissal is not just medical error — it is a civil harm with clinical fingerprints.
Because when elite doctors enable procedural abuse through omission, litigation is the only second opinion that counts.
Because gaslighting a respiratory collapse is not a metaphor — it’s a claimable event.

Let the record show:

  • The negligence was recorded

  • The child witnessed it

  • The evidence was preserved

  • And SWANK — filed it with statutory demand and monetary notation

This wasn’t a missed referral.
It was medical abandonment in silk tie and consultant tone.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit medical hierarchies to override duty of care.
We do not accept diagnostic omission as a form of plausible deniability.
We do not believe that a professor’s letterhead justifies silence.

Let the record show:

The patient was disabled.
The child was endangered.
The doctor was informed.
And SWANK — filed for £2.1 million.

This isn’t a clinical error.
It’s a valuation of institutional failure — costed, formatted, and notarised.
