“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 Investigatory Loop: On the Psychiatric Repackaging of Justified Emotion



🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The Anxiety Inquiry That Was Never Theirs to Make

Or, A Psychiatric Report That Wasn't Ready — But the Diagnosis of the System Was

One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic clarifies — yet again — that her anxiety is not a pathology, but a response to ten years of institutional harassment.


I. What Happened

On 19 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent an email to Westminster and RBKC, requesting the psychiatric report prior to an upcoming meeting — but, more critically, dismantling the repeated attempt to pathologise her emotional response to injustice.

Her tone was direct. Her position was final:

“I don’t have anxiety.
I have anxiety when people keep bullying and harassing me for ten years for no damn reason.”

The psychiatric report wasn’t late — it was irrelevant. The problem is not her mind. It’s their behaviour.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This email exposes the full procedural irony of the safeguarding industry:

  • They harass, then diagnose the effects of the harassment.

  • They gaslight, then pathologise the resistance.

  • They traumatise, then cite the trauma as proof of risk.

The logic is circular, the evidence is absent, and the process is reputationally bankrupt.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because “anyone would be pissed off” is not an outburst — it’s a perfectly rational footnote to ten years of procedural violence.

Because Westminster continues to commission psychiatric reports as if they’re instruments of clarity, when in fact they are tools of avoidance.

Because Polly does not suffer from a disorder. She suffers from the proximity of professionals who refuse to self-reflect.

This email, like the others, is part of the evidentiary mural: a coherent, articulate refusal to be misdiagnosed by those who cannot diagnose themselves.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Psychiatric scrutiny without basis, rooted in disability dismissal

  • Human Rights Act – Article 8 & Article 3 – Intrusive, degrading assessments

  • Safeguarding Misuse – Recasting grief and resistance as “mental instability”

  • Discriminatory Retaliation – Ten years of trauma cited as reason for more

  • Neglect of Parental Rights – Time wasted, reputations distorted, childhoods lost


V. SWANK’s Position

This email is not a refusal to participate — it is an insistence on integrity.

We consider it a constitutional rejection of psychiatric retaliation dressed in the robes of protection.

To say “I’m anxious when you harass me” is not a symptom — it’s a sentence, and it’s true.

Let the record show: Polly Chromatic has been asking for one thing since the beginning — to be left alone to mother in peace.
And every time she tries, they prescribe her outrage as illness.

We file this to remind the record: grief is not a diagnosis. Harassment is not care. And psychiatry is not a fig leaf for procedural guilt.
