🪞On Bromley, Brilliance, and Becoming Unmanageable
Or, Why Purchasing a Family Law Textbook Is Now a Tactical Threat
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Filed date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-V14-SELFARMED-BROMLEY
Court File Name: 2025-07-13_Post_Bromley_FamilyLaw_SelfArmament
Summary: The purchase of Bromley’s Family Law has been made. All future objections will now be met with footnotes. This is no longer a conversation — it is citation warfare.
I. What Happened
On 13 July 2025, I completed a highly strategic transaction:
I purchased Bromley’s Family Law — the foundational legal text cited by barristers, judges, and exam-worn students who whisper case law into their pillow.
This was not an academic decision.
It was an act of self-armament.
II. What the Announcement Establishes
Let the record reflect:
I am now armed with statutory references and judicial commentary
I have access to footnotes feared by social workers
I am unrepresented by choice, not by ignorance
The next professional who patronises me will be gently eviscerated with primary authority
The phrase “with respect, that’s legally incorrect” has entered my active vocabulary
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because in the land of safeguarding fiction and procedural improvisation,
knowledge is not power — it is provocation.
And I now possess:
A hardcover provocation
1,200 pages of legal irritant
A reference book that weighs more than the threshold document they forgot to complete
This purchase renders me unmanageable in the most civilised way possible.
IV. Violations (Pre-emptive)
Professional Misjudgement – Assuming I would not become fluent
Strategic Underestimation – Continuing to send templated forms to a woman with case law access
Narrative Control Failure – The point at which the “non-engagement” trope collapsed under my statutory rebuttal
V. SWANK’s Position
You may be a Local Authority.
You may have a badge, a procedure, and a spreadsheet of acronyms.
But I now have Bromley’s.
And I read.
This is not an escalation.
It is a citation.
I have to be my own attorney — not by preference, but by necessity.
Because if I am not, the social workers will collude with my solicitor, dilute the facts, and distort the filings.
And frankly, I no longer have the bandwidth to explain a case this complex to another professional who refuses to listen.
I know this case best.
I know what happened.
And I will learn family and international law in a matter of days —
not because I must, but because I am highly capable, strategically motivated, and no longer willing to be misrepresented.
