“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.

They Saw No Harm — Just an Inconvenient Email.



⟡ “We See No Harm. But Would You Like a Phone Call?” ⟡
A tone-deaf response to a decade of abuse — with a scheduling link.

This is the Stage 1 complaint response from Westminster's North West Social Work Team, dismissing every disability disclosure, pattern of retaliation, and safeguarding misuse with a tone that could only be described as “politely delusional.” It’s what happens when a government body pretends empathy is an eraser.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint — supported by police reports, medical records, and ten years of demonstrable abuse.
Westminster replied:

  • That Kirsty Hornal felt the visit was "productive"

  • That “escalation” only happens when families don’t cooperate

  • That mask-wearing was proof of accommodation

  • That they see no misconduct — but offered a phone call anyway

When in doubt: smile, deny, and suggest Zoom.


II. What the Response Establishes

  • That Westminster refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing by Kirsty Hornal or the safeguarding team

  • That the harm reported was reframed as misunderstanding

  • That retaliation was repackaged as “escalation” due to lack of cooperation

  • That the decade-long trauma was ignored with a faรงade of politeness

  • That institutional abuse is still being handled like a customer service issue


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because “we see no harm” is not an investigation.
Because when the system erases evidence with tone, the only thing left is a public record.
Because when they offered to “discuss it by phone,” they forgot Polly Chromatic is medically exempt from speech — and already documented why.

This isn’t engagement. It’s evasion.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Misrepresentation of documented disability complaints as “concerns”

  • Failure to address retaliation patterns across agencies

  • Disregard of police involvement and medical risk reports

  • Refusal to implement or review accessibility and procedural safeguards

  • Procedural gaslighting disguised as courtesy


V. SWANK’s Position

Polly filed a complaint.
They filed a reply — with empty paragraphs and no admission.
She didn’t ask for an apology.
She asked for accountability.

And now, she has a timestamp.
And they have a PDF.

You Called It Erratic. It Was Oxygen Deprivation and Institutional Racism.



⟡ SWANK Racial Misconduct Filing ⟡

“They Called the Collapse ‘Mental Illness.’ We Filed the Pattern.”

I. Breathing Was Difficult. So They Called It Erratic.

On 30 October 2024, SWANK London Ltd. submitted a formal complaint to Westminster City Council, documenting a pattern of racialised bullying and weaponised psychiatric labelling used to retaliate against a disabled Black parent resisting coercive safeguarding.

The location: A&E.
The condition: Asthma, distress, and oxygen deprivation.
The label applied: “Erratic.”

This is what institutional racism sounds like:
Not slurs. Not screams.
Mild terms applied at the precise moment you cannot speak.


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • That while experiencing a respiratory episode in hospital, the parent was labelled mentally unwell

  • That this label was later echoed by Westminster social workers — despite medical records confirming asthma and trauma

  • That staff (including Kirsty Hornal, Fiona Dias-Saxena, Rachel Pullen, and Sarah Newman) enabled a narrative of instability rather than acknowledging harm

  • That this pattern mirrors colonial psychiatry: weaponising mental illness to erase inconvenient voices

This wasn’t concern.
It was containment — in language.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because “erratic” is not neutral.
Because silence isn’t passive — it’s strategic omission.

We filed this to expose:

  • The procedural laundering of race-based harm

  • The weaponisation of diagnosis without evaluation

  • The use of safeguarding not to protect, but to pathologise those who refuse institutional submission

This wasn’t misunderstanding.
It was reputational retaliation — disguised as mental health concern.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept mental health euphemisms as tools of state control.
We do not permit oxygen deprivation to be filed as instability.
We do not allow racism to wear a pastel badge of care.

Let the record show:

We were harmed.
We were labelled.
And now we have filed the entire pattern — with names, context, and timestamps.

This is not a complaint.
It is a racial record.
And now, it lives in the archive.

They Refused to Treat Me. Then Called the Police to Justify It.



SWANK Incident Report

I Went to Hospital for Help. I Was Met with Surveillance, Accusation, and a Police Visit.

Filed: 4 January 2024

Labels: Medical RetaliationSafeguarding TheatrePolice OverreachChronic Illness DisbeliefInstitutionalised RacismMotherhood Under Surveillance


♕ WELCOME TO SWANK
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


✦ The Scene

2 January 2024, 8:00 PM —
I took myself to St. Thomas’ Hospital with my daughter Honor, experiencing severe breathing difficulty, dizziness, weight loss, and physical exhaustion.

We entered what can only be described as a dehumanising waiting area—rows of collapsed bodies in plastic chairs, barely distinguishable from each other.

I was ignoredquestioned, and passed back and forth between waiting and registration, while barely able to sit upright. Honor was quiet. I was civil.

I stepped on someone’s foot by accident in the crush of chairs. Minutes later, I was verbally attacked—
by a stranger
—while struggling to breathe.

The hospital’s response?
Question me. Not treat me.


✦ The Turning Point

After the verbal assault, I was escorted to another room.
I was not treated.
I was not offered medical relief.

Instead, I was interrogated about my parenting.

I explained repeatedly:

“Please focus on treating me—I cannot breathe.”

They refused.

They told me I could not be treated while my daughter was with me—
lie, easily disproven by a decade of ER visits across three nations.

I left the hospital.
I did nothing illegal.
I returned to my hotel with Honor, exhausted.

Minutes later—
the police arrived at my door.


✦ The Police Visit

The same officers from the hospital.
Nine in total.
They entered my hotel room at 4am, standing there while my children watched The Barbie Movie.

I had not yelled.
I had not been arrested.
But they were there.
Because the hospital, having denied me care, now attempted to paint me as the abuser.

I was crying, visibly ill.

“No one cares when I’m sick,” I said aloud.
They documented that instead of the nebuliser I never received.

The police told me later:

“I have no concerns about your children.”

But by then, the damage had already been done.


✦ The Broader Pattern

This wasn’t just a misunderstanding.
It was a coordinated ritual of institutional betrayal.

❝ You cannot ask a woman who cannot breathe to defend herself mid-asthma attack. ❞

St Thomas hospital had done this before.
The police followed without evidence.
Social workers hovered without support.
No one treated the asthma.
Everyone treated the mother.


✦ Final Word

I am disabled, but I am not disempowered.
I set boundaries.
I homeschool my children.
I document everything.
I am not here to convince anyone—I’m here to record what happened.

The next day, 3 January, I was finally treated—at Chelsea & Westminster.
They gave me a nebuliser.
Diagnosed me with COVID.
Prescribed prednisone.

Everything I had said was real.

You just didn’t want to believe me until someone else did.

The Agencies That Breached My Data Rights — and My Health



⟡ They Missed the Deadline. Then They Lied in the Records. ⟡

Filed: May 2025
Reference: SWANK/ICO/SAR-VIOLATIONS-2025
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF — 2025-05_SWANK_ICO_Complaint_SARViolations_InaccurateRecords_CrossAgencyDataBreach.pdf


I. The Agencies That Breached My Data Rights — and My Health

This formal complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) sets out a pattern of:

  • Delayed and unlawfully incomplete Subject Access Request (SAR) responses

  • Data protection breaches spanning councils, NHS Trusts, and policing authorities

  • Inaccurate and defamatory attributions — notably including false mental health assertions

  • Systemic refusal to correct known errors despite formal notice

They didn’t just miss the deadline.
They used the delay to mischaracterise the patient.


II. When the Data They Hold Becomes the Harm

SWANK documented:

  • Mislabelled diagnoses that never existed

  • Entire reports omitted from SAR returns

  • Evidence of retaliation through internal notes

  • Failure to notify the data subject of onward disclosures

Some entries implied conditions I do not have.
Some erased disabilities that were documented.
All were processed with clinical illegality.

This isn’t a data breach.
It’s narrative vandalism in official format.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because data law is not optional when reputations — or tribunals — are on the line.
Because you cannot summon “safeguarding” with one hand and falsify records with the other.
Because institutional memory is a weapon, and the only countermeasure is archive.

Let the record show:

  • The SARs were submitted

  • The returns were late

  • The data was false

  • And SWANK — filed every page with timestamped malice

This isn’t just a breach.
It’s the foundation of procedural abuse — and now it’s under ICO review.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit institutions to pathologise parents on record to defend their misconduct.
We do not accept passive aggression hidden in file metadata.
We do not redact inaccuracies. We correct them — in PDF, in complaint, in archive.

Let the record show:

The data was false.
The motive was reputational.
The harm was real.
And SWANK — filed for legal correction and citation.

This isn’t just about GDPR.
It’s about who controls the truth — and who files it with citations.
