“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

Polly Chromatic v The Clock: Filing Until They Come Home



SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue

⟡ Filed Entry: Oath of the Mother – Relentless Advocacy and the Right to Return

Filed date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-O01-MOTHER-OATH
PDF filename: 2025-07-13_SWANK_Declaration_MaternalOath_UnbrokenAdvocacy.pdf
Summary: A sworn declaration of maternal permanence, legal resistance, and refusal to rest until the children are home.


I. What Happened

The children were taken — but they were never abandoned.
They were seized by state actors who mistook silence for safety, compliance for care, and safeguarding for control.
But I never consented.
And I never will.

From the moment they left, a different machine began turning — not the one that removed them, but the one that would bring them back.
It is slow. It is heavy. It is made of law and grief and paper and power.
And I have turned it every day since.

I have filed while crying.
I have typed through asthma attacks.
I have submitted addenda when I could barely speak.
And I have done it all not as performance — but as promise.


II. What the Declaration Establishes

  • That I am not waiting. I am working.

  • That I am not "coping." I am constructing a return.

  • That every day I live is another day their captors are on notice — you don’t steal children from a mother who owns a filing system.

  • That my love is not hypothetical. It is formatted, cross-referenced, and court-lodged.

And most importantly:

  • That I will not stop until my babies are returned to me, in full freedom, without condition, and in the exact state of joy, safety, and selfhood they were taken from.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is no longer a personal feeling — it is a formal position.
The love I have for my children is no longer private. It is public record.
The fight is no longer emotional. It is evidentiary, legal, and non-negotiable.


IV. Violations That Triggered This Oath

  • Unlawful removal of children under an Emergency Protection Order without threshold evidence

  • Disability discrimination against the mother resulting in speech and mobility impairment

  • Systematic refusal to engage with alternative carers or investigate medical records

  • Ongoing psychological harm to children caused by unjustified family separation


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. formally acknowledges that maternal advocacy of this calibre is not activism — it is jurisdiction.
A mother who never stops filing, never stops proving, never stops articulating through exhaustion and pain, cannot be dismissed. She can only be deferred — temporarily.

This is not a blog post.
This is a notice.
To the court.
To the council.
To the Crown.
To the future.

Chromatic v Metropolitan Police: In the Matter of Unlawful Removal, Missing Orders, and Procedural Theatre



⟡ “No Order, No Justification, Just Screams” ⟡
A filmed removal. Five officers. Zero paperwork. A legal vacuum with blue epaulettes.

Filed: 26 June 2025

Video evidence and incident account of a child removal conducted without lawful authority, warrant, or safeguarding rationale.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025 at 1:30pm, five uniformed officers from the Metropolitan Police entered the family residence at London W2 6JL. They proceeded to remove all 4 children from their mother, Polly Chromatic (Director, SWANK London Ltd.), without presenting a court order, warrant, emergency protection order, or any written documentation whatsoever. The children were visibly distressed, begging not to be separated from their lawful parent.

The removal was filmed in full and is now publicly available via SWANK’s evidentiary archive:

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural Breach: No lawful authority presented — no warrant, no emergency order, no Section 20 consent, and no legal threshold met for removal.

  • Human Impact: Four broken-hearted children forcibly removed from their home, weeping and terrified, with no trauma-informed mitigation.

  • Power Dynamics: Five armed agents of the state versus one disabled mother and her children, with no safeguarding professional present.

  • Institutional Failure: A policing body acting extrajudicially, bypassing court authority, with no documentation or clinical oversight.

  • What’s Not Acceptable: When the law is absent and uniforms are present, we are not in a democracy. We are in performance.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because child removal without legal basis is not rare — it is routine, and routinised. Because silence would imply consent, and SWANK does not consent to state overreach disguised as "concern."

Because the image of four children being dragged from their mother without paperwork should haunt every bureaucrat who signs off such conduct.

Because mothers are not meant to narrate their child’s abduction in legal prose. But if we must, it will be with velvet gloves and juridical knives.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 44 (no EPO); Section 46 (no police protection threshold met); Section 20 (no consent)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (Right to private and family life), Article 6 (Right to fair process)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to consider disability accommodations; discriminatory enforcement

  • PACE 1984 – Entry without warrant; no lawful justification under Part II

  • UNCRC – Article 9 (Separation without judicial scrutiny); Article 3 (Best interests not paramount)


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not safeguarding. It was seizure.
This was not lawful enforcement. It was theatre in uniform.
We do not accept removals with no legal basis.
We do not accept unfiled trauma.
We do not accept five officers and zero signatures.

This incident is now formally archived.
It will be cited. It will be pursued.
And it will never be forgotten.
