Telemarketing

Noun. Also known as telescams and cold calls. When a salesperson calls you unexpectantly and offers you something you don't want or need, such as double glazing.

In the US and Australia, telemarketing is restricted and policed. In the UK, it is less controlled, because otherwise it would clash with the free speech laws.

Telemarketing is the bain of most houseowners' existences, and will guarentee you a place in Hades if you ever get a job in a telemarketing company.

Teresa May

A feckless non-entity put into a leadership role because leading the UK through a controversial period is political suicide. Too clueless to come up with a plan, too dimwitted to realise she is selling the entire nation out, too gutless to admit she should not have been allowed near a position of responsibility.
