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!

Tax does have to be taxing.
