“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

Chromatic v The Inbox: On Procedural Collapse, Communication Refusal, and the Fiction of “Too Much Information”



🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The Email Fatigue Paradox

Or, When the Authorities Claimed Overwhelm as Excuse for Inaction


Filed: 2 November 2024
Reference Code: SWK-COMMS-OVERLOAD-2024-11
PDF Filename: 2024-11-02_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_EmailOverwhelmAndCommunicationRefusal.pdf
One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic tells Westminster that if they find communication too overwhelming, they are unfit to be interfering with her children.


I. What Happened

In the small hours of 2 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent what might be one of the most cutting diplomatic messages in safeguarding history.

Subject: Emails
Tone: Dispassionate
Subtext: Nuclear

“Apologies if you aren’t able to keep up with the information in this case. If it’s too overwhelming for you all to properly pay attention to my family and our needs then I don’t think that you should be interfering in our lives.”

This was not a rant.
It was a formal withdrawal of institutional permission.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster and its collaborators have routinely ignored, misfiled, or failed to reply to formal correspondence

  • That they are overwhelmed by the very information they demand

  • That they have no infrastructure for disability-conscious communication

  • That what they describe as “non-engagement” is, in fact, a refusal to read

Polly adds:

“Communication is quite important to me and you all refuse to effectively communicate with me and this is a big problem for us.”

Indeed. It is the defining problem.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because every institutional failure eventually blames the inbox.
Because safeguarding professionals claiming “too much information” is the bureaucratic equivalent of claiming stress as a defence to negligence.
Because email is not the problem — unwillingness to respond to it is.

Because no child is protected when their mother’s carefully written correspondence is discarded for being thorough.

And because this message turns the whole premise on its head:
If the emails are too much — you are not qualified.


IV. Violations

  • Article 14 ECHR – Discrimination on the basis of disability-appropriate communication

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to provide written communication pathways

  • Safeguarding Procedure Breach – Neglecting communication as foundational to case review

  • Institutional Gaslighting – Blaming “overwhelm” for procedural delay while continuing interference

  • Data Disrespect – Refusing to process or respond to submitted documents


V. SWANK’s Position

We consider this one of the most succinct legal critiques in the SWANK archive.
It is a masterclass in turning their fatigue into your evidence.

Let the record show:
Polly Chromatic does not flood the system.
She files.
She communicates in line with her disability.
She provides what they demand.
And when they collapse under the weight of their own contradictions — that is not her failure.

It is proof of unfitness to act.
