AN MP has re-issued his plea for Government to crack down on the “despicable people” who assault shop workers and make it a crime in its own right as assaults continue to rise.
Shipley MP Philip Davies said staff were “heroes”, working tirelessly throughout the pandemic to ensure people had food and essential items in lockdown.
He wants a Parliamentary debate on increasing the sentence courts can hand down for assaulting a shop worker and wants the crime to be made an offence in its own right as is the case for assaulting an emergency worker.
