Wolf-whistle backlash: Police and woman under fire after complaint about builders
West Mercia chiefs were accused of getting their priorities wrong after sending officers to probe Poppy Smart’s claims of sexual harassment.
The 23-year-old marketing assistant complained after hearing the “disrespectful” calls as she passed the site in Worcester on her way to work.
But Philip Davies, who is seeking re-election as Tory MP for Shipley, West Yorkshire, said: “I would have thought the police have better things to do.
“I don’t know how many burglaries there are to investigate in Worcester, but there are probably quite a few.
“I’m sure the public would feel safer if police devoted more time to investigating them.”
His views were echoed by Worcester residents who used social media to rant about the “waste of money”.
