Her Majesty's Civil Service is usually shortened to the Civil Service. The name got smaller while the outfit got bigger, then kept on getting bigger. It is now the largest consumer of wealth in England. It was modernised after the Northcote Trevelyan Report of 1854.

Her Majesty's Civil Service
ex Wiki
Her Majesty's Home Civil Service,[1][2][3]
also known as Her Majesty's Civil Service or the Home Civil Service,
is the permanent
bureaucracy or
secretariat of Crown employees that supports
Her Majesty's Government, which is composed of a
cabinet of
ministers chosen by the
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
as well as two of the three
devolved
administrations: the
Scottish Government and the
Welsh Government, but not the
Northern Ireland Executive.
Like in various countries (example India) following a Parliamentary system, Her Majesty's Home Civil Service in the UK forms an inseparable part of executive branch of the Government of the United Kingdom. The executive decisions of government ministers are implemented by HM Civil Service. Civil servants are employees of the Crown and not the British Parliament. Civil servants also have some traditional and statutory responsibilities which to some extent protect them from being used for the political advantage of the party in power. Senior civil servants may be called to account to Parliament.
In general use, the term civil servant in the United Kingdom does not include all public sector employees; although there is no fixed legal definition, the term is usually defined as "a servant of the Crown working in a civil capacity who is not the holder of a political (or judicial) office; the holder of certain other offices in respect of whose tenure of office special provision has been made; [or] a servant of the Crown in a personal capacity paid from the Civil List".[4] As such, the civil service does not include government ministers (who are politically appointed), members of the British Armed Forces, the police, officers of local government authorities or quangos of the Houses of Parliament, employees of the National Health Service (NHS), or staff of the Royal Household. As of October 2013, there are approximately 412,000 full-time equivalent (447,000 headcount) civil servants in the Home Civil Service.[5]
There are two other administratively separate civil services in the United Kingdom. One is for Northern Ireland (the Northern Ireland Civil Service); the other is the foreign service (Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service). The heads of these services are members of the Permanent Secretaries Management Group.[6][7]
Northcote Trevelyan Report
This 1854 Report was commissioned by
Gladstone as
Her
Majesty's Prime Minister in order to put
Her Civil
Service on a sound footing. It worked fairly well at the time. It has gone
badly off since the 1960s if not earlier. Current
collusion between Big Business &
Big Government is symptomatic of systematic
corruption. So is that fact that 1400 English girls
were Raped by Pakistani
Perverts in Rotherham without a single
government official or policeman being charged, let alone tried, convicted,
sentenced or hanged.
The Cardwell Reforms of 1868 through 1874 of the British Army were in a similar spirit, backed by Gladstone as an efficiency measure.
Northcote Trevelyan Report
ex Wiki
The Northcote-Trevelyan Report was a document prepared by
Stafford H. Northcote (later to be
Chancellor of the Exchequer) and
C.E. Trevelyan (then
Permanent Secretary at the Treasury). Commissioned in 1853 and published in
February 1854, the report catalysed the development of
Her Majesty's Civil Service in the
United Kingdom. Influenced by of the ancient Chinese
Imperial Examination, it recommended that entry to the Civil Service be
solely on merit, to be enforced through the use of examinations. Its formal
title was "Report on the Organisation of the Permanent Civil Service, Together
with a Letter from the Rev. B. Jowett."
The report is generally regarded as the founding document of the British Civil Service, enshrining the service with the "core values of integrity, propriety, objectivity and appointment on merit, able to transfer its loyalty and expertise from one elected government to the next",[1] although it is not clear the extent to which these were ever actually realised.

The Cardwell Reforms
of the British Army
from
1868 to 1874
were backed by

Gladstone
was the driver behind the Northcote
Trevelyan Report of 1854 which modernised
Her Majesty's Civil Service.
Cardwell stopped the Purchase of Commissions in the British Army & flogging, something which discouraged recruits.
Cardwell Reforms ex
Wiki
The Cardwell Reforms refer to a series of reforms of the
British Army undertaken by
Secretary of State for War,
Edward Cardwell between 1868 and 1874 with the support of Liberal Prime
Minister
William E. Gladstone. Gladstone paid little attention to military
affairs but he was keen on efficiency. In 1870, he pushed through Parliament
major changes in Army organisation. Germany's stunning triumph over France
in the
Franco-Prussian War proved that the Prussian system of professional
soldiers with up-to-date weapons was far superior to the traditional system
of gentlemen-soldiers that Britain used.[1]
The Reforms were not radical; they had been brewing for years and Gladstone seized the moment to enact them. The goal was to centralise the power of the War Office, abolish purchase of officers' commissions, and create reserve forces stationed in Britain by establishing short terms of service for enlisted men.[2]
Cardwell set about with three initial reforms:
How Sir Philip Rutnam's
Name Has Become A Byword For Bungled Advice [ 2 March 2020 ]
QUOTE
Most people would have never heard of Sir Philip Rutnam, 54, before his
highly unusual resignation yesterday morning.
Critics of
Boris Johnson's Government and his sweeping reforms to the troubled
immigration system will have a new hero following the incendiary
walkout, but they will be choosing an unlikely champion in the man paid more
than the Prime Minister, yet lucky not to have been axed on numerous
occasions.
For those who have kept a keen eye on
Whitehall over the past decade, the name Rutnam is a byword for bungled
advice and toxic clashes with Ministers.
Dubbed 'Sir Calamity' by exasperated Downing
Street officials, Rutnam – who was paid £175,000 with a gold-plated pension
as Home Office Permanent Secretary – always seemed to be 'missing' when his
neck was on the line.
UNQUOTE
Rutnam looks stupid. Perhaps it is just a pretence. He is also the one
who refused to obey a
lawful command. Patel
could have sacked him on the spot. It was a wasted opportunity.
Her Majesty's Civil Servants Incite Subversion
[ 7 June 2020 ]
QUOTE
Whitehall departments have been jumping on the
Black Lives Matter
bandwagon, making attempts to ‘re-educate’ civil service staff on
racism in the UK. Today, DfE staff received an email from the internal ‘BME
Network’ telling them to “listen, learn, support and speak up about the
fight for racial equality not just in the US but in the UK as well”,
attaching a document of cultural texts titled “DO BETTER”,
recommending podcasts, literature, cinema, TV and music on race issues.
Guido’s attention was caught by one of
the official song recommendations: ‘F*ck Tha Police’…
Ahead of the curb yesterday were DEFRA, whose employees received an email from the ‘Head of International Environmental Strategy’, who seemingly has widened his remit to include launching “Project Race: Discussion of events in the US”. A sound use of time, Guido’s sure you will agree…
Civil servants were also told to come to terms with a list of concepts such as:

Post Office Bosses Knew IT Glitches Caused 'Missing' Money And Prosecuted The
Innocent
[ 9 June 2020 ]
QUOTE
Post Office bosses knew a computer system glitch could be to blame for missing
money but pursued prosecutions against staff anyway, documents have revealed. Hundreds of postmasters were sacked, went
bankrupt or were wrongfully convicted after amounts appeared to vanish from
their tills.
But it later emerged that shortfalls in the
accounts of local branches were the result of flaws in the Post Office’s IT
system called Horizon. It has now been revealed that bosses at the Post
Office were told Horizon could be to blame in 2011.

Home Office Apologises For Putting Illegal Immigrants In Home Secretary's
Constituency Rather Than Rotherham
[ 18 August 2020 ]
QUOTE
Home Office chiefs have apologized for an
'error' after Nigel Farage was filmed visiting a hotel housing migrants in
Priti Patel's constituency.
The Brexit party leader yesterday claimed a hotel in Ms Patel's constituency had been used to house asylum seekers after they had crossed the English Channel from France.
The former UKIP MEP shared a video on Twitter in which he is seen visiting the £54-a-night Riven Hall Hotel in Witham, Essex - the Conservative MP's constituency.
In the video he claims asylum seekers were being put-up at the three-star-rated hotel, which is fully booked until January next year.
Mr Farage said the allegations were 'embarrassing' for Ms Patel, who he said had 'led the charge' for the Conservatives in criticising the migrant situation and whose Home Office are responsible for providing accommodation to homeless migrants.
While sharing a shortened version of his seven-minute long video, he also accused the MP of 'taking Britons for a ride'.
Bosses at the Home Office say they have
launched a 'full review' into their operation of finding temporary
accommodation for asylum seekers who arrive in the UK without a home to go
to.
UNQUOTE
All single rooms are taken for the rest of the year - see
Booking. Would you want to
stay there next year and take a chance on having your wife raped by a gang

Of course if they were serious about wanting
to keep parasites out they would create
Concentration Camps somewhere like Otterburn. They aren't of course.
They want them to come, causing
Ethnic Fouling In England leading to Genocide.
PS Did the Home Office apologise for importing
these parasites? Did
Boris Johnson apologise for his treasonous
appointment of Patel?
Home Office Hiring New Inclusivity Anti-English Director
[ 13 October 2020 ]
QUOTE
The Home Office’s diversity unit is already twenty people strong, yet they are
advertising for another £70,000 to £80,000 diversity and inclusion reform
director. It will be the successful hire’s role to “actively promote an
inclusive culture where everyone can fulfil their potential”.
Guido wonders when Sir Philip Rutnam,
the current Permanent Secretary at the Home Office, will fufil his potential.
The advert comes in the midst of briefing about the Home Secretary’s
behaviour, accusing her of being a ‘bully’ and ‘intimidating’. Bullying in
Whitehall is not seemingly constrained to the Home Office, with another
advert put up last week by the Cabinet Office for a ‘Special Adviser’s HR
Policy Lead’.
UNQUOTE
The Home Office does not admit that it is anti-English
but you really do not need a degree in political science to take the point.
Boris Johnson is in the business of filling
the government and Civil Service with
Third World aliens and Jews. He has packed the
Great Offices Of State with them.
Johnson himself is a mongrel with Turk and Jew ancestry. He is laughing up his
sleeve as he betrays us.
PS Is Rutnam
another alien, a Chinaman or some such? Patel
claims that she didn't sack him but he is suing her anyway.

Supercilious Civil Servants Sneer At The Lower Orders, The Uneducated Peasant
Masses In Thrall To Fascism [ 23 August 2021 ]
QUOTE
Sneering civil servants and public sector
workers at a woke conference claimed middle-aged people ‘jump on
click bait’
news stories and lack the education to ‘unpick fascist ideas’, The Mail on
Sunday can reveal.
At least 300 employees have joined the UKGovcamp event forum to discuss issues relating to central and local government.
Civil servants are supposed to be impartial and steer away from party politics. But in typed conference discussion notes, uncovered by the MoS, Left-wing staffers openly moaned about the Government, the ‘uneducated’ British public and apparent ‘rising fascism’ across the country.
The forum members included staff from 16 Government departments, among them the Home Office, Cabinet Office and Foreign Office, alongside spy agency GCHQ, the BBC, Public Health England and almost 40 local councils. The three-day virtual event was led by civil servants, including Sarah Baskerville of the Department for Transport, who has previously sparked anger after she posted tweets criticising Government policy and MPs.
In a forum chat about the event, seen by the MoS, she said she was trying to conceal the controversial conference notes by keeping ‘the page hidden from search engines’. But this newspaper has obtained the notes from sessions including one called ‘Government is political. We need to be more ready to talk about that’, in which workers outlined a swathe of woke gripes and complaints............
The notes went on to claim, patronisingly, that ‘many people don’t have the educational background/ tools to unpick fascist messaging and ideas’...........
She appeared to complain during January’s conference that ‘there are less and less “safe” spaces for civil servants to voice their opinions’ [ unless they are lefties - Editor ].
Workers during the sessions even suggested
setting up a secret chat room which would be kept hidden from official
records.
