Thank you for your input Colin, currently we have some very demanding issues and policies to worry about ie: the global economic crisis, natural disasters, decreasing environmental damage and promoting sustainable ways of living, crime and policing, defending our country from the onset of terrorism, deficit reduction and energy and climate change to name but a few. Obviously since reading your post we realise it is much more important that we drop these current concerns and solely focus on ensuring you do not receive unwanted telephone calls in the future.
These people call regularly, very rarely do you actually get someone speaking. When they do they start asking questions about finances - ' we are doing a survey and not selling anything '.
This government ought to force phone companies to do something about this sort of thing - I am quite happy to tell these b@stards to fo when they ring (which I do), but would much prefer for the phone not to ring in the first place!

If you really are a government official, I think you need to be reminded:
Just like American technology was used against us during the 911 attack, criminals and terrorists are now using the telephone to disrupt and discredit businesses, steal identities, extort money from and harass the people of this country in order to finance their terrorist cells and criminal enterprises. It stands to reason that they look for areas the government is least likely to defend to carry out their attacks, so they have chosen this one. As a result, the populace that you are defending in other ways is being undermined before your eyes. For that reason I would like to this to be categorized under crimes and policing, and defending our country from the onset of terrorism.
If you continue to put these issues on the back burner, there will be very few citizens left to protect, because the criminals would have arrived ahead of you.
