“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

You’ve Sent Enough Letters. I’ve Already Survived Them.



⟡ “You Wanted a Statement. I Gave You a Book Excerpt.” ⟡
A stylised written refusal of further engagement with Westminster Children’s Services and police, submitted not as argument — but as closure. They called it safeguarding. She called it over.

Formal correspondence issued to Westminster Children’s Services — including Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and council leadership — announcing withdrawal from all further contact. Instead of explanation, it offers a book excerpt. Stylised. Final. Delivered with silence as signature.


I. What Happened

After over a year of surveillance, mischaracterisation, medical injury, and performative contact attempts, Polly Chromatic issued a final procedural disengagement to Westminster.

This letter:

  • Declares a complete refusal to engage further with social workers or police

  • Frames past intrusion as chronic, exhausting, and irreparable

  • Offers no defence — only detachment

  • Includes a book excerpt in place of explanation, reducing the institution’s authority to a literary footnote

  • Refuses to explain, negotiate, or re-open the door

It is not defiance. It is emotional sovereignty, mailed.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That medical and emotional harm has reached a critical threshold

  • That the parent’s position is not open to dialogue — it is archived

  • That Westminster’s correspondence now exists for documentation, not resolution

  • That disability, harassment, and procedural abuse cannot be “managed” with more contact

  • That the final act of resistance is to stop playing the game


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because bureaucracy thrives on response — and dies in silence. Because not every engagement deserves a rebuttal. And because refusing to fight is not weakness — it’s strategy.

SWANK archived this file because:

  • It is the last word — before the legal filings begin

  • It turns the council’s narrative into background noise

  • It reminds the public that explanation is not owed when trauma is evident

This is the moment Kirsty Hornal stopped being a professional actor — and started being a ghosted intruder.


IV. Violations (Already Documented Elsewhere)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Repeated disability discrimination led to forced disengagement

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 3 (degrading treatment)

  • Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm and procedural misuse

  • Social Work England Standards – Misconduct now considered closed to correspondence


V. SWANK’s Position

Some institutions deserve full rebuttal. Others deserve the sound of their own paperwork echoing back at them. Westminster’s social work team received silence not because there was nothing to say — but because they had already ignored every word that came before.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this as a literary disengagement from administrative harm, filed not to reopen communication — but to seal the record.

Re: Hornal & Brown (Procedural Termination of Correspondence, Filed Under Reluctant Clarity)



⟡ We No Longer Speak to Kirsty or Sam ⟡
A procedural silence is now in effect. Communication has been archived, not continued.


Filed: 27 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/INSTITUTION/0627-02

1-line summary: SWANK London Ltd declares formal termination of all direct contact with social workers Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown due to procedural escalation and institutional misconduct.


I. What Happened

For over a year, the Applicant was subject to persistent, unfiltered, and often hostile communication from Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown of Westminster Children’s Services. Emails were issued without legal authority, bypassed formal disability adjustments, and frequently ignored requests for written-only correspondence. These individuals escalated emotional harm while evading scrutiny.

Despite repeated formal complaints, audit notifications, criminal referral submissions, and documentation efforts, both employees continued to position themselves as gatekeepers of contact and narrative control.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Repeated breach of jurisdictional clarity

  • Use of correspondence to provoke, pressure, or confuse

  • Failure to adhere to written-only accommodations

  • Procedural overreach in direct communication post-filing

  • Bypassing formal legal and consular channels once active


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This is no longer a conversation.
It is an archive.

Having engaged, rebutted, recorded, filed, and publicly posted over 500 communications, SWANK London Ltd now formally closes the channel to these individuals.
The audit has shifted. The venue is now judicial.
This is not a courtesy — it is a legal repositioning.
They are no longer entitled to answers, access, or reaction.
Their names remain — but only in evidence.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – failure to act in the child’s best interests

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20–21 – failure to accommodate written communication

  • Article 6 ECHR – ongoing interference in fair and accessible legal process

  • Common law duty of procedural fairness


V. SWANK’s Position

Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown are no longer direct recipients of communication.
They will not be copied, warned, or addressed.
They are archived.

All future material will be routed through the Family Court, Westminster Legal Services, and/or regulatory bodies. Their behaviour remains under formal audit, their misconduct bundled, and their relevance entirely circumstantial.

The era of direct address is over. We now file. We do not reply.

When Explaining Becomes Harm: A Formal Withdrawal from Private Justification



⟡ “Thank You. This Is Me Logging Out.” ⟡
A procedural farewell. A boundary made permanent. An archive now public.

Filed: 5 December 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CLOSURE-DECLARATION-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-12-05_SWANK_Closure_Westminster_ProceduralExit.pdf
A closing communiqué addressed to Westminster safeguarding officers, solicitors, and NHS clinicians, formally declaring the end of verbal and private written communication. The author confirms that all further documentation will be handled publicly, via evidentiary platforms and archival release.


I. What Happened
On 5 December 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a clear, composed, and final message to involved parties from Westminster and affiliated legal and health teams. The email ends all direct explanation, citing years of systemic harassment, institutional contradiction, and emotional exhaustion. It marks a shift from explanatory correspondence to permanent, public logging — not out of spite, but out of survival.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Verbal and written communication was repeatedly disrespected and dismissed

  • Disability accommodations were not honoured in practice

  • Emotional labour was exploited under the guise of “concern”

  • Institutional actors failed to provide support, remedy, or redirection

  • The burden of truth-telling was unfairly placed on the harmed party


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because institutions count on exhaustion to win.
Because procedural cruelty often masquerades as “professional care.”
Because when the silence gets louder than the questions, a public record becomes the only reply.

SWANK London Ltd. logs this as a formal declaration of jurisdictional refusal, procedural exhaustion, and the end of private emotional labour.

The archive now speaks in the author’s place.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Equality Act 2010 – Ongoing failure to implement communication adjustments for disability

  • ❍ Procedural Abuse – Unrelenting demands for emotional explanation after formal refusal

  • ❍ Negligent Oversight – Legal, medical, and safeguarding professionals failed to act

  • ❍ Harassment by Procedure – Repetition of institutional harm after multiple documented objections

  • ❍ Disability-Based Isolation – Silence as a strategy for control rather than resolution


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not a kind closure.
It was a strategic retreat into documentation — because words weren’t enough and silence was never respected.

The exit was legal.
The refusal was principled.
The exhaustion was medical.

And now, the archive will speak.

On Clarification, Closure, and the Language of Letting Go: A Follow-Up from RBKC’s Customer Relationship Team



🦚 On Clarification, Closure, and the Language of Letting Go: A Follow-Up from RBKC’s Customer Relationship Team

Filed under the documentation of quiet exits and conditional empathy.


10 January 2025
To: Polly


📜 Dear Polly,

We write further to our correspondence dated 2 January 2025, in reference to your complaint regarding the conduct and involvement of Social Care Services with your family.

Your concerns have been acknowledged — though not, one notes, yet resolved.


🧾 On Clarification and Procedural Exit Doors

We seek confirmation of the following:

  • Are you requesting that you no longer wish to work with the social care team?
    or

  • Are you requesting a full cessation of social care involvement altogether?

The distinction, it seems, is one of administrative delicacy —
one we are eager to honour once properly defined.


🔚 On Case Closure, Now That Plans Have Lapsed

Please note that, as your children are no longer subject to a Child Protection (CP) Plan, we would be happy to close our involvement, should you no longer wish to engage with the team.

Withdrawal, when formalised, becomes cooperation.


📬 On Complaint Precision

Clarification of your intentions will greatly assist us in formulating a response to your complaint —
or, at the very least, in knowing where to file it.

We await your confirmation at your earliest convenience, though we appreciate that convenience in these matters is often aspirational.


📜 Kind regards,

Customer Relationship Team
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
