“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

⟡ “You Wanted a Statement. I Gave You a Book Excerpt.” ⟡
A stylised written refusal of further engagement with Westminster Children’s Services and police, submitted not as argument — but as closure. They called it safeguarding. She called it over.

Formal correspondence issued to Westminster Children’s Services — including Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and council leadership — announcing withdrawal from all further contact. Instead of explanation, it offers a book excerpt. Stylised. Final. Delivered with silence as signature.


I. What Happened

After over a year of surveillance, mischaracterisation, medical injury, and performative contact attempts, Polly Chromatic issued a final procedural disengagement to Westminster.

This letter:

  • Declares a complete refusal to engage further with social workers or police

  • Frames past intrusion as chronic, exhausting, and irreparable

  • Offers no defence — only detachment

  • Includes a book excerpt in place of explanation, reducing the institution’s authority to a literary footnote

  • Refuses to explain, negotiate, or re-open the door

It is not defiance. It is emotional sovereignty, mailed.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That medical and emotional harm has reached a critical threshold

  • That the parent’s position is not open to dialogue — it is archived

  • That Westminster’s correspondence now exists for documentation, not resolution

  • That disability, harassment, and procedural abuse cannot be “managed” with more contact

  • That the final act of resistance is to stop playing the game


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because bureaucracy thrives on response — and dies in silence. Because not every engagement deserves a rebuttal. And because refusing to fight is not weakness — it’s strategy.

SWANK archived this file because:

  • It is the last word — before the legal filings begin

  • It turns the council’s narrative into background noise

  • It reminds the public that explanation is not owed when trauma is evident

This is the moment Kirsty Hornal stopped being a professional actor — and started being a ghosted intruder.


IV. Violations (Already Documented Elsewhere)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Repeated disability discrimination led to forced disengagement

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 3 (degrading treatment)

  • Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm and procedural misuse

  • Social Work England Standards – Misconduct now considered closed to correspondence


V. SWANK’s Position

Some institutions deserve full rebuttal. Others deserve the sound of their own paperwork echoing back at them. Westminster’s social work team received silence not because there was nothing to say — but because they had already ignored every word that came before.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this as a literary disengagement from administrative harm, filed not to reopen communication — but to seal the record.

Chromatic v Crown Governance: Jurisdictional Banishment Disguised as Safeguarding



⟡ SWANK Notice – Procedural Exile and International Displacement ⟡
Protective Claim on Behalf of Four U.S. Citizens and Their Disabled Mother


Filed: 1 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/INTL/EXILE-NOTICE-0725
📎 Download PDF: 2025-07-01_SWANK_Notice_ProceduralExile_ProtectiveClaim.pdf
Summary: Formal notice of procedural exile and a protective relocation claim on behalf of Polly Chromatic and her four U.S. citizen children, grounded in systemic state retaliation, disability discrimination, and mirrored safeguarding abuse across UK and Turks & Caicos jurisdictions.


I. Procedural Exile Declared

SWANK London Ltd formally declares that its Founder and Director, Polly Chromatic (legal name: Noelle Jasmine Meline Bonnee Annee Simlett), and her four minor children — all American citizens — are now living in a state of procedural exile.

This term denotes a condition in which a family is functionally ejected from lawful civil participation within a state, due to:

  • Weaponised safeguarding frameworks

  • Bureaucratic retaliation in response to lawful resistance

  • Refusal to provide medical, legal, or parental accommodations

Both the United Kingdom and the Turks and Caicos Islands — operating under Crown authority — have:

  • Repeatedly separated this family without lawful cause

  • Denied consular access, medical oversight, or trauma-informed care

  • Silenced the legal voice of a disabled mother through structural exclusion

This is not exile by flight.
It is exile by procedure — and it has been filed.


II. Basis of the Protective Claim

A. U.S. Citizenship Rights

  • All four children are American nationals

  • No consular notification occurred during removal

  • The mother, also a U.S. citizen, was denied treaty rights and legal access

B. Repeated State Retaliation

  • Children removed without established harm

  • Contact obstructed

  • Medical records withheld

  • Advocacy punished with further intrusion

C. Disability Persecution

  • Eosinophilic asthma and muscle dysphonia repurposed as ‘concerns’

  • No reasonable adjustments provided

  • Psychological distress induced by hostile state conduct

D. Transnational Pattern

  • Identical methods deployed in both the UK and Turks and Caicos

  • A discernible Crown apparatus of coercive safeguarding across borders


III. Legal Instruments Violated

  • Article 3, ECHR – Protection from inhuman or degrading treatment

  • Article 8, ECHR – Right to private and family life

  • UNCRPD – Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

  • UNCRC – Convention on the Rights of the Child

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations

  • U.S. Diplomatic Protection of Nationals Overseas


IV. Intended Recipients

This notice has been formally submitted to:

  • U.S. Embassy London

  • U.S. State Department – Office of Children’s Issues

  • UN Special Rapporteurs on Disability, Arbitrary Detention, and Violence Against Women

  • Equality and Human Rights Commission (UK)

  • Other international human rights documentation forums


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern.
And this family no longer resides within a jurisdiction that acknowledges their rights.

They live in procedural exile.
Their only functioning state is the archive.

Relocation is not abandonment.
It is the final form of lawful resistance when every process becomes punishment.

This protective claim does not beg. It declares.
And it will be filed, forwarded, and referenced until a lawful state answers.

You Can’t ‘Check In’ When You Were Never Invited In The First Place



⟡ “She Said She Was ‘En Route.’ I Said I Was Disabled. Only One of Us Was Breaking the Law.” ⟡
A same-day email from Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal announcing her impending arrival — uninvited, unconsented, and medically inappropriate. Proof that institutional harassment doesn’t always knock first — sometimes it emails.

Filed: 23 January 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-18
📎 Download PDF – 2025-01-23_SWANK_Email_KirstyHornal_ForcedVisitAnnouncement_DisabilityViolation.pdf
Same-day contact notice from WCC social worker Kirsty Hornal announcing a home visit without prior agreement. Sent to a parent with a known verbal disability, this email documents a procedural breach and a calculated disregard of lawful communication adjustments.


I. What Happened

On 23 January 2025, Kirsty Hornal — already named in multiple complaints for disability discrimination — sent a message to Polly Chromatic at 3:41pm that read:

“I am en route and will be with you at 4.10pm.”

That’s it.
No consent. No coordination. No accommodation.
Just forced proximity disguised as service.

This was not protection. It was surveillance by appointment — one the parent never made.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That no notice was given for a potentially triggering visit

  • That written-only contact boundaries were again ignored

  • That WCC operated on a coercive logic: presence over permission

  • That verbal contact was treated as procedural default — not medical risk

  • That this was not an isolated incident, but part of a harassment pattern


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because “on my way” is not policy. Because the right to refuse contact is not a luxury — it’s a legal adjustment. And because this email is the digital footprint of institutional trespass.

SWANK archived it to:

  • Provide timestamped proof of nonconsensual contact attempts

  • Undermine any future claims of “invited engagement”

  • Record another clear breach of disability accommodation and safeguarding ethics

This wasn’t just poor planning. This was the system reminding you: we go where we like.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010
    • Section 20: Refusal to make written-only adjustments
    • Section 27: Retaliatory pressure through in-person tactics
    • Section 149: Breach of public sector equality duty

  • Children Act 1989 – Emotional distress from home intrusion under false safeguarding

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 8: Right to home and family privacy
    • Article 14: Discrimination via service delivery

  • Social Work England Standards –
    • Failure to uphold boundaries
    • Disregard for medical evidence
    • Unethical enforcement of face-to-face coercion


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to rewrite harm into help just because you arrived in daylight. This visit wasn’t scheduled. It was enforced. This parent didn’t disengage — she lawfully withdrew consent, and was pursued anyway.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this email as a procedural micro-aggression with legal consequence — a “courtesy heads-up” that functioned as coercive surveillance.

Re: The Jurisprudence of Procedural Theatre



⟡ Re: The Jurisprudence of Procedural Theatre ⟡
A dispassionate chronicle of how law becomes performance when accountability is optional.

Filed: 1 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/ROYALCOURTS/CMH-STATEMENT/2025
📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-01_StatementOfPosition_CMH_Hearing.pdf
Position statement cataloguing disability discrimination, procedural breaches, and retaliatory removal.


I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were removed from their mother by an Interim Care Order conferred in absentia. The applicant, medically incapable of safe attendance, had repeatedly requested written communication and accommodations for her disabilities—Eosinophilic Asthma, Muscle Dysphonia, and PTSD—requests which were met not with compliance but with procedural expedience. A Children’s Guardian was unavailable; instructions were solicited from an uninvolved professional. The ensuing process resembled not a hearing but a ceremony of predetermined dispossession.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That safeguarding powers were mobilised as a reactive stratagem shortly after civil litigation was filed.

  • That the applicant’s disabilities were disregarded with a composure only possible when the procedural optics are more important than the legal substance.

  • That four children were subjected to abrupt removal without a credible transition plan for medical, psychological, or emotional safety.

  • That the Guardian function was reallocated by convenience, eroding the neutrality essential to legitimacy.

  • That each procedural shortcoming was treated as a tolerable imperfection rather than a systemic failure.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because no family court should be permitted to confuse ceremony with substance. Because the habit of procedural disregard is not a quirk of administration but an architecture of harm. Because there must be a record—meticulous, unflinching—of the disparity between lawful process and institutional theatre.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (Sections 1 and 34—paramountcy of welfare and contact)

  • Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—routinely suspended)

  • Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment—breached by indifference)

  • Equality Act 2010 (Failure to accommodate disability)

  • Family Procedure Rules (Requirements of fairness and participation)


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was procedural theatre rendered with the conviction of actors who know no one will critique the script.
We do not accept the aesthetic of due process as an alibi for unexamined harm.
We will document every performance—implacable, unimpressed, and jurisdictional.

They Scheduled the Visit. They Ignored the Harm. They Knew the Difference.



⟡ “I Said This Visit Would Hurt Us. They Scheduled It Anyway.” ⟡
A written refusal sent to Westminster safeguarding officer Rachel Pullen objecting to continued visits, the return of a prior worker, and disregard for medical, emotional, and procedural boundaries. The reasons were documented. The risk was clear. The reply? Silence — then more pressure.

A calm, formal refusal to participate in further WCC safeguarding visits, citing disability, emotional harm, surveillance concerns, and the trauma triggered by Edward’s reappearance. Boundary set. Adjustment invoked. Trauma named. Ignored anyway.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic sent a detailed written response to Westminster Children’s Services, objecting to further in-person visits on the following grounds:

  • Respiratory disability requiring written-only contact

  • PTSD triggered by past safeguarding contact

  • Explicit harm caused by the return of a previous worker (Edward), including:

    “He caused harm to us. You never addressed that.”

  • Emotional distress from surveillance and procedural intrusion

  • The loss of parental intuition and sense of safety

  • A direct assertion that continuing these visits would be damaging and discriminatory

This was not a “refusal to engage.”
This was a documented safeguarding intervention — from the parent to the state.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That Westminster received clear, rational objections rooted in lived trauma

  • That the disability adjustment was formally repeated — again

  • That prior harm caused by Edward was known, not alleged

  • That emotional safety was actively being undermined by state action

  • That the parent had already reached a threshold of damage


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because every safeguarding team that keeps saying “we’re just trying to help” needs to be reminded that real help listens— and doesn’t retraumatise on schedule.

SWANK archived this because:

  • It’s a formal, timestamped refusal grounded in disability and law

  • It captures a powerful reversal: the parent safeguarding the family from the state

  • It proves that WCC received this warning and still proceeded

This isn’t “non-engagement.” This is what protective parenting looks like under siege.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Written-only communication refused
    • Section 27: Retaliation through continued scheduling
    • Section 149: Institutional disregard for disability and emotional wellbeing

  • Children Act 1989 – Safeguarding used to cause trauma, not prevent it

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 3: Inhuman or degrading treatment through procedural persistence
    • Article 8: Violation of home and family life through unsafe visitation

  • Social Work England Standards –
    • Disregard for prior harm
    • Failure to establish trust
    • Boundary crossing without justification


V. SWANK’s Position

You can’t say you’re protecting someone while ignoring every medically grounded, trauma-informed, legally supported warning they give you. You can’t bring back someone who caused harm — and call it care. And you can’t schedule trauma and pretend it's procedure.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this email as a formal parental safeguarding declaration — archived now as evidence that Westminster knew… and violated it anyway.
