Bobs that work for your bank sell your credit card and phone numbers for cheapness to anyone that will buy it.
The DVLC sell your number to anyone that will buy it.
The council whose roll you are on sell your number to anyone that will buy it.
.gov.uk couldn't give a stuff as long as the money is flowing and they are getting a cut.

As expected, Bob was f**king clueless and claimed it was OK because the Government gave him my number.

That way they run up huge phone bills, and ties up their callers for ages, without tying up your phone.
Keeps them from nuisancing others.
VOIP and cut rate blocks of call time make the telco costs of these campaigns relatively cheap.

"If you only hold telephone numbers and don’t know the name of the person who can be reached on that telephone number, the Data Protection Act does not apply." - Which Law - these Regulations or Data Protection?

Maybe if we bombarded them with zillions of them they would **** off.
It would be interesting to know where they get your number from as well.
Maybe if we bombarded them with zillions of data protection act requests they would ignore them. Maybe they are not within the jurisdiction of our laws.
