A new national reveiw of police pay and conditions is suggesting a yearly fitness test for beat bobbies. Police chiefs are against the proposal and suggust promoting a healthy lifestyle as the solution.
The standards of the British police force have dropped immensely under the socialism of the past fourteen years, particulary the height restrictions being binned. Now there are many tiny female coppers trying to prove they are as good as any largely built male, but just coming off as arrogant for the main part.
As far as I know there has never been yearly fitness tests for coppers, only the entrance test. Once you are in you can tuck into the free dognuts. The Daily Wail article compares the fitness training of the bizzies to that of the fire brigade and military, and while the police do not quite have such an active life as those two services they surely have a standard to maintain in order to do their job.
Apparently though, too many officers would fail the yearly tests and this would put a strain on already suffering police numbers. Not good when you also have the 'cuts' to contend with.
In my opinion, these police shiefs are going about this whole cuts business in the wrong way. Get rid of all the diversity and equality people, none of them are needed. Get rid of the armies of backroom support staff. Fitness test all the coppers on a regular basis and put anyone who fails in a backroom job (They would then be able to re-apply for frontline duties after a year). Recruit more frontline police with all the money you have saved. Train them to be a police force rather than a bunch of politically correct, target driven morons with zero common sense.
And bring back the height restriction.

Can't go discriminating on grounds of gluttony now, can we?
Ahhh. But does it count if they're members of the ruling class? Probably not.
AFT = Annual blah blah ...
As soldiers we had a BFT every six months XX
Unless you were at Chichester 80 - 81, when we had one weekly. :-(
