HMRC Spaffing Our Money Up The Wall Unchecked - DEI Must DIE!

 

As per Guido:

"HMRC admits it does “not ask that colleagues centrally report time spent engaging with Staff Diversity Networks”, so staff time spent on them remains untracked."

Tax does have to be taxing.

HMRC - 800 Years of Failure

In the annals of bureaucratic inefficiency, the HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue and Customs) has etched its name in bold, underlined letters. The recent report revealing the HMRC's shortcomings is not just disappointing, it's downright infuriating.

800 Years of Waiting: A Disgrace

Taxpayers have been left on hold for seven million hours in 2023-24 – the equivalent of 798 years. This is more than double the 3.2 million hours – or 365 years – they spent waiting for HMRC to pick up the phone in 2019-20.

This isn't just a statistic, it's a slap in the face of every hardworking individual who has ever had the misfortune of dealing with the HMRC. It's a testament to the HMRC's blatant disregard for the value of our time and the importance of our queries.

Value for Money? More Like a Black Hole

The HMRC's primary role is to manage public funds. But the report suggests that it's failing to deliver value for money. It's as if our hard-earned money disappears into a black hole, never to be seen again. This isn't just inefficient, it's unacceptable.

A Call to Arms

This isn't a time for gentle words and diplomatic language. It's a time for action. The HMRC needs to pull up its socks and address these issues head-on. We demand better customer service, shorter wait times, and a system that respects our contributions.

Conclusion

We, the taxpayers, are not cash cows to be milked dry. We deserve respect, efficiency, and transparency. The HMRC has failed us, and it's high time they faced the music.

Taxpayers' Money Spaffed Up The Wall on DEI - DEI Must DIE!

 

Further to my article yesterday about the cost of DEI in HMRC, the loyal reader who shared the FOI has provided the following update:

"there are network chairs for 

-Carers 

-Disability 

-Religion or Belief 

-LGBT+ 

-Race 

-Social Mobility 

Gender Each network has one chair (20%), 2 deputy chairs (20% each) and one regional lead for each of the 14 regions who each get 20%. 

So 17 people for each network each on 20%.

There are also people called menopause warriors, but it's not clear if they get official time. Same with Autism buddies."

That's up to £16K per person.

Our money being spaffed up the wall on this bollocks!

DEI must DIE!

Diversity Bollocks To Be Scrapped - DEI Must DIE!

 

Responding to reports that diversity roles in the civil service are set to be scrapped, Joanna Marchong, investigations campaigns manager of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“Taxpayers will be thrilled that ministers are injecting some much needed common sense into Whitehall.

Creating whole teams devoted to EDI initiatives has been a disaster for the public sector, which has spent vast amounts of money and time on needless navel-gazing, as public services deteriorate.

Politicians should now crackdown on these redundant roles at all levels of government, not just in the civil service.”

By happenstance a loyal reader has sent me the response from HMRC to an FOI on the subject of Diversity Network Chairs. 

Each network chair is allowed to spend 20% of their full time employment in the role. Grades ranging from Higher Officer to Grade 6 are currently involved with these roles. Their full time pay ranges from £35K to £81K, as such the Chairs are costing up to £16K per person, based on 20%.

Taxpayers' money spaffed up against the wall!

Useless Gobshites!

 

As per Guido:

"Later this month will see HMRC organising a “cross Civil Service discussion” to lament about the fourth anniversary of George Floyd’s death. 

Topics up for discussion at the session will include where Treasury pen-pushers were when they first heard the life-altering news."
