“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 Clock: On Time, Illness, and the Selective Inflexibility of British Institutions


🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The One-Sentence Doctrine

Or, Why Denying a Sick Mother a Reschedule Is Not Policy — It’s Prejudice

Filed: 1 November 2024
Reference Code: SWK-DISCRIMINATION-HEALTH-2024-11
PDF Filename: 2024-11-01_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_DisabilityDiscrimination_Rescheduling.pdf
One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic delivers a formal legal conclusion in a single sentence: ignoring rescheduling requests during illness is discrimination — and it is.

I. What Happened

On 1 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent a brief but unsparing email to Westminster and associated state agents. It contained one sentence and a legal declaration:

“The fact that you continue to ignore my requests to reschedule the meetings when I am sick is discrimination.”

That’s it.

No preamble.
No narrative.
Just the final judgment.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

This single sentence codifies the following truths:

  • Polly notified the authorities of her illness.

  • Polly requested rescheduling in line with her lawful disability accommodations.

  • The Local Authority refused to respond or comply.

  • The result? Institutional discrimination against a mother with a respiratory disability during an active safeguarding investigation.

It is not a miscommunication.
It is not a scheduling difficulty.
It is ableism — in action and on record.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the system responds to verbosity with dismissal, and to clarity with evasion. This time, it has neither route.

Because this email is not evidence of distress — it is evidence of breach.

Because any professional who reads that sentence and thinks, “We should proceed with the meeting anyway,” is no longer protecting children. They are punishing parents.

We consider this email to be a legal scalpel, a single line that performs the autopsy of British procedural decency.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to adjust timelines for documented health conditions

  • Article 8 ECHR – Proceeding with parenting interference during medical incapacity

  • Safeguarding Procedure Breach – Ignoring critical parental participation rights

  • Disability Discrimination – Treating illness as obstruction, rather than evidence

  • Professional Negligence – Refusing to accommodate the very people the system purports to support

V. SWANK’s Position

We file this message as a micro-chapter in legal clarity: a sentence that achieves what many reports fail to — proof of disregard, compressed into precision.

It doesn’t ask for sympathy.
It doesn’t elaborate trauma.
It simply files a legal charge — and moves on.

Let the record reflect: when a mother says “this is discrimination,” and the institution proceeds regardless, they do so with full knowledge and deliberate intent.
