Blandford Buzz says "Oi all you beefed up British cops, there's only one rotund cop that gets the wings up from me and my honey bee buddies and that's Chief Wiggan, so eat less and exercise more, cos with increasing lawlessness a cop needs to outrun a robber - not the other way round...".
In a bid to implement the cuts, a new government commissioned review is suggesting that Police Officers, from September 2013, have an annual fitness test and those who are overweight and fail the test three times will have their pay cut by nearly three thousand pounds a year as well as added disciplinary action including being sacked from the Police force. A recent report details that 44% of Police Officers in London are overweight and 44% are morbidly obese. Currently Police Officers only undergo one fitness test when they join the force, however once the new measures of annual health testing is rolled out next year, from 2018, the tests will get even tougher. It is estimated that such proposals will help save over £150 million in the next few years.
Oh well on a positive note, obese boys in blue are more farcical than forceful, so all's fair when it comes to fat cop cuts - and they do get a head start on this - they've got a year and a half to do battle with the bulge !
