Britain’s ‘wokest’ quango accused of squandering millions of taxpayer cash on diversity workshops

Interesting. The end of the piece:

Quangos in Britain are now responsible for nearly one in every three pounds of Government spending and are among the country’s largest employers, with almost 500,000 people employed.

Funding for these bodies comes primarily from the taxpayer, although they also generate income through fees, charges and levies. Of a total income of £412 billion, £376 billion was provided directly by the Treasury, with the remainder raised from other sources.

In response, Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice MP warned: “British taxpayers are increasingly fed up with the vast sums of public money being poured into this woke madness.

“At a time when the UK economy is under severe strain, this is a gross misuse of hard-earned taxpayers’ cash. Reform UK will scrap diversity, equality and inclusion rules that have lowered standards and reduced economic productivity.”

Mr Tice continued: “We will restore common sense to Great Britain.”
