“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.

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.

Social Work Isn’t a Safety Net. It’s a Mesh of Prejudice.

 🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 10 October 2024

AN OVERVIEW FOR KIRSTY, WHO ENTERS LATE AND UNINFORMED

Filed Under: Medical Discrimination, Institutional Racism, Misuse of Police, Disabled Motherhood, Social Work Theatre, Kirsty Hornal's Entry

To: Kirsty Hornal, who enters this staged performance in Act III, Scene 7.
From: Polly Chromatic, who has lived every breathless line since Scene One.
Location: Flat 22, 2 Periwinkle Gardens, London W2

You’re arriving ten months late.
Here’s your script: it’s been rewritten in oxygen levels, missing medical care, false accusations, and the enduring grace of a mother who was too breathless to walk—yet still managed to move house, homeschool four children, and survive systematic assault by the very services designed to protect.

🦠 WHAT HAPPENED:

  • Our home filled with sewer gas.

  • My oxygen levels dropped to 89%.

  • I was refused emergency treatment multiple times.

  • Nine officers were sent to our hotel over a false racial accusation after I was attacked.

  • I could barely walk for six months, but still managed to secure a new flat and move.

  • Social workers harassed me the entire time—never offering help.

  • I finally paid privately for the medical care I was denied.

🧱 WHAT THIS IS:

A public services vendetta dressed as “concern.”
A mother penalised for being visibly ill, but not fragile enough.
A disabled woman punished for not collapsing in the expected way.
A family bullied because the mother is white and the children are mixed, and the public doesn’t know how to metabolise that.

📎 WHAT I SAID TO KIRSTY:

“The British community commonly calls social workers on me anytime they are upset.”
“These complaints are the result of discrimination… because I don’t look unwell.”
“I’ve been an outstanding mother.”
“I’ve been harassed by the community through public services.”
“The way I’ve been treated is absolutely disgraceful.”

🗣️ COMMUNICATION NOTE:

I have a medically documented disability that makes verbal communication difficult.
Please do not call me.
All communication should be in writing—this is a reasonable adjustment under the Equality Act 2010.

✒️ FINAL WORDS FOR THE FILE:

Kirsty, I’ve copied everyone because I keep hoping someone, somewhere in this kingdom of paperwork and prejudice, might finally believe me.

Let this serve as your onboarding document.

Breathing, barely. Documenting, always.

Racial Harm in the Waiting Room: What the NHS Failed to Intervene


⟡ SWANK NHS Racial Harm Archive ⟡

“The Receptionist Repeated the Slur.”
Filed: 24 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/SMH/RACE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-24_SWANK_SMH_Racial_Slur_Witness_Complaint.pdf

I. This Wasn’t De-escalation. It Was Institutional Echo.

This complaint documents a racial incident at St Mary’s Hospital witnessed by a patient in the Urgent Care Waiting Room on or around 18 March 2025.

At the centre of it:

A white woman accused of using a racial slur.
A Black woman visibly distressed and in tears.
A receptionist who repeated the slur aloud — in front of children, patients, and staff.
And no safeguarding response to the woman harmed.

This wasn’t an attempt to calm the situation.
It was an amplification of it — by the very institution meant to intervene.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That NHS staff:

  • Repeated a racial slur out loud in a public setting

  • Offered no support or trauma-informed care to the Black woman harmed

  • Failed to de-escalate, protect, or record the incident in any visible way

  • Allowed the accused party to proceed to her appointment unchallenged

That the harm was not:

Addressed
Acknowledged
Or institutionally managed

That racism — when witnessed in NHS spaces — is often allowed to sit beside you in the waiting room, unbothered.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because racial trauma in healthcare spaces is not hypothetical — it is routine and observable.
Because silence from staff is not neutrality — it is reinforcement.
Because institutional procedures often mirror the biases they’re meant to correct.

We filed this because:

  • The Black woman was left unsupported.

  • The receptionist normalized the harm.

  • The incident played out like background noise in a room that should’ve intervened.

Let the record show:

There was no apology.
There was no escalation pathway.
There was no training in evidence that day.

Only a witness — and now, a record.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept NHS environments where racial slurs are treated as disputable noise.
We do not permit receptionists to repeat trauma under the guise of clarification.
We do not excuse silence from professionals in moments of visible harm.

Let the record show:

The names were unspoken.
The slur was not.
The harm was institutional.
And SWANK — does not wait for consensus before calling it racism.

This wasn’t miscommunication.
It was racial violence, moderated by policy inaction.
