“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.

She Was Too Sick to Speak. They Still Didn’t Show.



⟡ “I’m Sick — and She Didn’t Even Show Up.” ⟡
A clinical risk warning, ignored. A meeting, skipped. A person, discarded.

Polly Chromatic informed Westminster and her solicitor, Laura Savage, that she was too unwell to continue being harassed — and that once again, Kirsty Hornal didn’t bother to show up. In a system that demands compliance, even no-shows have consequences. The message was brief. The implication was devastating.


I. What Happened

– Polly was sick.
– Polly was exhausted.
– Polly was clear.

She emailed:

“Social worker didn’t show up today. I’m tired of being bothered while I’m sick.”

Kirsty Hornal was expected.
She wasn’t there.
The cycle of disturbance without accountability continued.
Only now — it’s recorded.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That Polly Chromatic was medically unwell at the time of institutional contact

  • That her symptoms were known and repeatedly exacerbated by unscheduled interaction

  • That Westminster social worker Kirsty Hornal failed to attend a scheduled contact

  • That emotional exhaustion and harm were formally communicated

  • That silence, again, replaced safeguarding


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because even no-shows leave bruises.
Because being medically exhausted isn’t an invitation — it’s a limit.
Because she wasn’t asking for anything.
Just for it to stop.
And even that was ignored.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Failure to attend scheduled meeting without notice or clinical accountability

  • Disregard for medical boundaries communicated by a disabled parent

  • Procedural inconsistency resulting in emotional and physical distress

  • Lack of safeguarding follow-up following a missed contact event

  • Institutional minimisation of illness as a barrier to engagement


V. SWANK’s Position

Polly was sick.
Kirsty didn’t come.
And still, the pressure mounted.

No escalation.
No support.
Just quiet abandonment —
while pretending they care.

Now, we file the silence.
And mark it:
Clinical Risk. No Show. Public Record.

Metropolitan Police Acknowledge Formal Complaint on Negligence, Retaliation, and Adjustment Failure — But Redirects to Website Without Action

Filed: 18 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/MPS/NEGLECT-01

Summary: The Met Police Commissioner’s Office responds to Polly Chromatic’s formal complaint by forwarding it to Professional Standards and redirecting to a public complaints link, ignoring content and legal notice.


I. What Happened

On 17 February 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, cc’ing:

  • Legal counsel (Blackfords & Merali Beedle)

  • NHS representative (Philip Reid)

The complaint cited:

  • Police negligence in safeguarding follow-up

  • Retaliation following complaints

  • Repeated refusal to accommodate written-only communication

On 18 February 2025, the Commissioner’s Office replied:

  • Acknowledged receipt

  • Stated they have “no direct involvement” in investigations

  • Forwarded the complaint to Professional Standards

  • Suggested Polly use the public-facing “Report a Crime” and “Make a Complaint” webpages

  • No direct response to legal action language or disability rights claims


II. What the Record Establishes

• The Met received a legally framed complaint but offered no institutional response
• The response was automated, generic, and dismissive, regardless of content or cc’d parties
• No action or contact was made by Professional Standards at the time of filing
• This reflects a system-wide minimisation of disability-based retaliation reports
• It supports future claims of procedural neglectdisability discrimination, and legal disregard


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you email the Commissioner about rights violations, and they respond with a link, the system is saying: “We read it. We won’t act.”
Because redirection is institutional denial with polite language.
Because this was not a report. It was a warning. And they dismissed it anyway.

SWANK logs the moment a Commissioner’s inbox became a firewall.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that formal legal notices are answered with public forms.
We do not accept that disabled complainants are redirected instead of heard.
We do not accept that this constitutes “receipt.”

This wasn’t just inaction. It was institutional gaslighting.
And SWANK recorded it.

They Weren’t Fighting Until You Got Involved.

When the State Withdraws, the Injured Mother Becomes the Crisis Unit

Filed: 13 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/DOMESTIC/SIBLING-ESCALATION-01

No safeguarding record exists for this event — not because it was irrelevant, but because it indicts those who were supposed to care and didn’t.

I. What Happened

On Friday 13 June 2025, two adolescent boys — aged 13 and 16 — began play-fighting over a bag of crisps. The moment shifted, as these moments do, into something more dangerous. Within seconds: a chokehold, retaliatory strikes, and a domestic scene no social worker would ever log — because no social worker was there.

The mother, disabled and alone, intervened physically.
She was injured.
She succeeded.

She called no agency. She called no line. She called Krystyna, the porter.
Krystyna came.
That was the only institutional presence: a building staff member.
Not a department. Not a service. Not a “team.”

There was no emergency call because the emergency had already been addressed — not through intervention, but through absence.

II. What the Incident Establishes

• This mother de-escalated sibling violence with no assistance
• Her injury was the only price the system demanded
• The emotional context was not “family dysfunction,” but exhaustion by institutional incursion
• The root cause was jurisdictional erosion, not neglect
• No threshold for safeguarding was crossed — unless that threshold is “being abandoned repeatedly”

This was not a red flag.
It was a white flag.
And no one responded.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because surveillance is only triggered when a mother fails — not when she bleeds and succeeds.
Because statutory presence evaporates the moment it would require liability.
Because this is the kind of incident that will never be referenced by Children’s Services — not because it’s minor, but because it’s inconvenient.

SWANK records what institutions redact.
SWANK files what the state cannot afford to remember.

This family was not at risk.
They were over-targeted, under-supported, and left to hold their own line.

IV. What the Law Says (But Did Not Do)

• Children Act 1989 – Duty to provide support and safeguarding.
• Equality Act 2010 – Obligation to accommodate written-only communication.
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Right to private life without coercive neglect.
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) – Duty to intervene pre-crisis.
• UNCRC, Article 19 – Protection from institutional harm, not just parental.

V. SWANK’s Position

We reject the narrative that absence is benign.
We reject the rebranding of abandonment as empowerment.
We reject the selective memory of services that track every email but log no injuries unless they can be used against the parent.

This was not a family in crisis.
This was a state in dereliction.
And the archive now reflects exactly that.

⟡ Straw Therapy for Structural Collapse: When Dysphonia Meets Decorative Care ⟡



⟡ The Asthmatic, The Voice, and The Posture Plan: A Clinic That Breathed Around the Problem ⟡

I. When Breathing Fails and They Prescribe Diaphragm Discipline

This document records a formal consultation at the Harley Street ENT Clinic, where a mother of four, chronic asthmatic, and post-toxic exposure patient presented with:

  • Persistent dysphonia

  • Breathing pattern dysfunction

  • Exhaustion from speech

The therapeutic outcome? A beach pose. A Lax Vox straw. And a water intake target.

She brought a voice problem shaped by sewage fumes, inflammation, asthma, and systemic fatigue.
They handed her posture.


II. What Was Said (and What Was Not)

  • Diagnosis: Muscle tension dysphonia

  • Clinical complicators: Eosinophilic asthma, reflux, nasal damage, suspected MACS

  • Noted symptoms: Choking episodes, chest rashes, fast speech, clavicular breathing

  • Therapeutic action: Hydration reminder and guided exhalation through a straw

Pathology met politeness. The outcome was decorative concern.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because chronic breathlessness in a disabled woman with confirmed asthma and environmental injury deserves more than nasal rinse praise and GRBAS scores.

This letter documents:

  • Clinical acknowledgement without clinical urgency

  • Procedural empathy without substantive intervention

  • A case of medical decorum performing as care


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not believe "moderate dysphonia" captures the lived experience of gasping to finish sentences.
We do not accept fast speech as a diagnosis.
We reject posture-led gaslight in place of respiratory rehabilitation.

Let the record reflect:

  • The asthma is real

  • The exposure is real

  • The dysphonia is real

  • The action plan — was quaint

This was not a treatment pathway.
It was a polite stroll around a clinical emergency.
