How do you express displeasure and disregard over something (e.g. To hell with that new policy _____'s office has come up with! I'm going to do whatever the hell I want) without sounding crude?

I am convinced that there are always more eloquent ways of saying something, so we all don't spiral down into vulgarities, but I can't think of a more polite way of saying it.
