One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic confronts Westminster for labelling respiratory distress as mental illness — and racism as procedure.
I. What Happened
At 7:37am on 30 October 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed the Westminster Children’s Services inner circle and legal co-defendants with one of the sharpest anti-gaslighting missives in the archive:
“There’s something very wrong with anyone who accuses someone who can’t breathe of erratic behaviour or mental illness while they’re in A&E.”
This was not hyperbole.
It was diagnostic accuracy — of the system.
She wasn’t asking for clarification.
She was issuing a formal psychiatric referral for institutional delusion.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That Westminster professionals attempted to pathologise visible respiratory distress
That their labelling of “erratic” or “mentally ill” behaviour coincided with A&E visits
That this deflection was not just incorrect — it was dangerous
That the safeguarding narrative is being fuelled by racism, procedural cowardice, and cultural ignorance
She writes:
“All my followers see all of this.”
“You’re bothering me.”
“British humans seem to have trouble discussing race.”
“White people go above and beyond to be petty in ways Black people never would.”
This is not an outburst.
This is a sociological diagnosis in email form — and an ethnographic rebuke of white British administrative cruelty masquerading as care.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when the British state accuses a Black woman of madness for coughing in hospital, it’s not mental health awareness — it’s colonial muscle memory.
Because racialised safeguarding is not protection — it is punishment for disobedience and difference.
Because this email is not an attack — it is a mirror.
Because no one forced Westminster to ignore the GP. No one forced them to ignore the A&E chart. No one forced them to ignore the U.S. citizenship. They did that voluntarily, bureaucratically, and on-brand.
And Polly Chromatic, quite rightly, said:
“The bullying is an epidemic in your country.”
She is not wrong.
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010 – Disability and race-based discrimination
Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended) – Misuse of mental health allegations for coercive procedural ends
Article 3 ECHR – Degrading treatment by mischaracterisation during medical crisis
Safeguarding Code of Practice – Improper escalation based on protected characteristics
Racial Discrimination – Framing race-coded defiance as mental instability
V. SWANK’s Position
We consider this email a counter-diagnosis, submitted by a mother who knows the difference between asthma and accusation.
Let the archive reflect:
When a disabled American mother enters A&E struggling to breathe,
and exits with a safeguarding file calling her mad,
the madness belongs to the system.
Polly Chromatic is not erratic.
She is not unstable.
She is not confused.
She is documenting, with clinical precision, the absurdity of the very people paid to assess her.
