“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

⟡ Sanity Slot: Psychiatry in 30-Minute Installments ⟡



⟡ £275 for Sanity: Psychiatric Follow-Up as Gatekeeping Ritual ⟡

I. When Mental Health Becomes an Appointment Code

This document, extracted from a clinical exchange with Harley Street Mental Health, outlines the cost and conditions for continuing psychiatric oversight with Dr Rafiq.

It is not a crisis plan.
It is not treatment.
It is a price tag, delicately phrased.

  • 30 minutes of follow-up

  • £275 per virtual appearance

  • Recommendation to book “towards the start of June,” because mental health must evidently be scheduled around availability


II. What It Reveals (Without Admitting)

  • The patient was already under formal psychiatric care

  • The clinic anticipates a six-month review — a moment of medical renewal

  • Ongoing therapeutic engagement is presumed, packaged, and tethered to cost

Mental health is here acknowledged, managed, and invoiced. The only thing not offered is urgency.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because in every tribunal, hearing, or safeguarding review, the burden of proof for sanity still rests on the disabled, the disbelieved, and the over-diagnosed.

This record asserts:

  • Psychiatric supervision exists

  • Engagement has been proactive

  • The clinical system is not neglected — it is paying its own meter

To be mentally well is not enough. One must purchase the right to be seen as such.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not believe that credibility should depend on one's ability to pre-book a psychiatrist.
We do not accept the monetisation of stability as a prerequisite for respect.
We do not confuse mental health access with mental health justice.

Let the archive reflect:

  • The patient complied

  • The follow-up was offered

  • The price was set

This was not support.
It was subscription-based legitimacy.

⟡ 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 ⟡
Filed: 8 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/SLT/Wood-HarleyENT-2024
📎 Download PDF — 2024-12-08_SWANK_Wood_Report_MuscleTensionDysphonia_EosinophilicAsthma.pdf


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.

⟡ The Breathless Must Rebook: Continuity of Care as a Patient Responsibility ⟡



⟡ Airway Admin: When the Asthmatic Patient Is the One Following Up ⟡
Filed: 11 February 2023
Reference: SWANK/RBHT/GSTT-AsthmaContinuity
📎 Download PDF — 2023-02-11_SWANK_GSTT_EmergencyAsthmaReferral_RespiratoryReviewPrep.pdf


I. When the Breathless Must Confirm Their Own Appointments

This document is not a referral. It is a logistical echo — a letter confirming that Royal Brompton is willing to see the patient again, after emergency care elsewhere. The tone is calm. The urgency is buried in formalities.

The patient has been under Brompton’s care since 2015.
She arrived breathless, nearly collapsing.
And now she must chase her next appointment.


II. What the System Believes This Document Says

  • You are still a patient.

  • You may now attend, again.

  • Please call us if you can breathe long enough.

What it actually says is:

Even with specialist care on record, you remain administratively invisible until rebooked.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because chronic respiratory illness is treated as episodic unless the patient insists otherwise.
Because patients under long-term specialist care should not have to resurface through crisis.
Because this document is yet another example of administrative continuity substituting for clinical urgency.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept the fiction of “new appointment” when the care was never paused.
We do not tolerate asthma being treated as a scheduling matter.
We reject the quiet assumption that the system remembers the patient simply because it has her file.

Let the archive reflect:

  • The asthma is chronic

  • The crisis was real

  • The follow-up — was arranged by the breathless

This was not a referral.
It was a bureaucratic breadcrumb along the path of collapse.

When the Council Asks If the Ceiling Fixed Itself



⟡ SWANK Housing Neglect Archive ⟡
“Can You Update Us On Whether We Did Our Job?”
Filed: 26 October 2023
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/LEAK-DORNAN-01
📎 Download PDF – 2023-10-26_SWANK_RBKC_Leak_Complaint_Justine_Dornan.pdf


I. This Wasn’t Casework. It Was Administrative Gaslighting by Inquiry.

On 26 October 2023, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea responded to a housing complaint with a masterstroke of inversion:

“Could you update us on whether the water was dealt with?”

Translation: We are not here to confirm resolution. We are here to request evidence of your own continued suffering.

Instead of assuring, they inquired.
Instead of fixing, they redirected.
Instead of documenting the outcome of their own intervention, they asked the vulnerable tenant to report back — like a subcontractor with no salary, no authority, and no recourse.

This is not public service.
It is institutional dampness — literal and bureaucratic.


II. What the Correspondence Confirms

That RBKC Environmental Health:

  • Treated health-endangering damp as an open-ended anecdote

  • Made no mention of follow-up inspection, action, or confirmation of remedy

  • Requested a phone call despite the known written-only adjustment

  • Failed to offer any structural, medical, or safeguarding consideration in response

And that the line between indifference and procedure has all but vanished.

This email wasn’t just a failure to follow up.
It was a formal reminder that nothing had ever been followed through.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because requesting an update on your own unfulfilled duty is not just negligent — it’s humiliating by design.
Because housing neglect often arrives wearing a civil tone and a council logo.
Because being asked to confirm that your living space is still unsafe is the cruelest form of outsourced compliance.

We filed this because:

  • This is how housing departments hide rot — not just in ceilings, but in policy

  • The burden of reporting was passed back to the person already harmed

  • No apology, no urgency, no solution — just damp and a digital shrug

Let the record show:

The ceiling peeled.
The floor warped.
The air thickened.
And the council’s reply? “Did that all stop yet?”


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept emails that pose as updates when they are admissions of failure.
We do not accept that health-threatening damp should be “confirmed” by the person reporting it.
We do not accept disability-breaching phone requests under the guise of helpfulness.

Let the record show:

This wasn’t follow-up.
It was abdication.
And SWANK — logs every polite atrocity in the annals of institutional erosion.

Because sometimes, the mould on the wall grows faster than the bureaucracy meant to stop it.

The Timeline They Never Expected Her to Keep



⟡ SWANK Early Evidence Archive – TCI ⟡
“It Started With a Fence. It Ended With Seven Home Visits and No Explanation.”
Filed: 1 November 2016
Reference: SWANK/TCI/SOCIALDEV-TIMELINE-ORIGINAL-01
📎 Download PDF – 2016-11-01_SWANK_SocialDevelopment_Harassment_Timeline_Original.pdf
Author: Polly Chromatic


I. The First Document They Hoped Wouldn’t Be Kept

Before the solicitor letters, before the FOIA references, before the phrase “pattern of procedural harassment” had become legally inevitable — there was this.

A personal log.

Handwritten in survival.
Chronological in tone.
Uncompromising in detail.

This is the original timeline of unwanted state interference — recorded not for drama, but for sanity.


II. What This Timeline Captures

  • The neighbour named Brian who weaponised “concern” into repeated institutional triggers

  • The forced hospital visit in 2017 that led to invasive examinations of the children — with no medical justification

  • The social workers who entered without warning

  • The homeschooling approval that was granted, denied, then conveniently “forgotten”

  • The seven visits between August 2019 and March 2020

  • The fence that was taken apart

  • The mother who was expected to remain calm

  • The email chains that began to grow

  • The COVID-19 powers that were ignored entirely

All logged.
All real.
All now permanent.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no safeguarding protocol requires trespassing and silence.
Because “home visit” sounds neutral until it becomes weekly surveillance.
Because trauma doesn’t need a court order — it only needs repetition.

We filed this because:

  • Bureaucracies lie in the form of omission

  • No formal complaint was ever shown

  • And the mother was always expected to smile, comply, and never document

Let the record show:

She documented everything.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept “investigation” as a lifestyle.
We do not accept safeguarding that begins with silence and ends with fatigue.
We do not accept systems that treat a woman’s credibility as an administrative threat.

Let the record show:

They wanted this timeline to feel like paranoia.
Now it feels like evidence.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
It was institutional curiosity with a badge —
and we archived it before they rewrote it.
