If someone wakes me up, with absolutely no care for the inconvenience caused
me, with their unwanted, unsolicited and strongly opposed nuisance calls,
then it is of no benefit to me that you have decided that they might be a
poorly paid worker.
I cannot contact her boss.
I cannot get her to stop the nuisance calls.
I cannot get BT to stop them
The police are not interested.
No outside agency has the power or authority to stop them
And they refuse to stop themselves.
I do not (can not) care that the person calling me may or may not conform to
some arbitrary lifestyle that you would assign to her because it suits you
to do so.
If I have but one weapon, be sure I shall use it. Always.
For yourself, should you ever be mugged, please remember his need may be so
much more important to him than is yours to you.
And be polite.
