Company bosses face fines in crackdown on nuisance calls

Company directors whose firms make nuisance calls will now be directly liable and could face fines of up to £500,000.

New rules mean the UK's data protection watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), can target the company director and not just fine the firm.

It is hoped it will stop company bosses declaring bankruptcy and setting up again under a different name when they are caught for nuisance calls. .......

Thank goodness I hope that takes in the cheery git speaking to me as if we are best buddies and have spoken only a few months ago where I agreed to buy advertising in some non existent emergency service magazine, intent on conning money out of me.

It's undeniable that the government has cocked up brexit, but they have got the economy on track

I amuse myself by responding to heavily accented Asian callers in my most impenetrable Barnsley accent.

The rest I just tell to fuck off.
