Why the hell can't they go join a bloody gym, and pay the joining and membership fee - just like everyone else? Why are police officers a special case? Why do I have to fund the cost of this? It's taking the pi$$.

Well yes, but if the police hadn't put their rate up do you think your council tax would have gone down  .
Put it this way, a few years back my local council made an almighty c0ck up and increased our villages council tax by 33%!!!!!
I made a phone call to my council office venting my frustration at this and was told that if the overpaid funds weren't spent we would recieve a rebate off of the following years council tax bill. 
Did we? . . . . .did we f***. The bill increased the following year just like everywhere else 
And of course the police force will only argue that they need a gym so they can be fit enough to chase toerags and the like.
