I have just looked at the Information Commissioners web site and can find NO way of reporting spam (always forward the entire email - including internet mail headers) to the ICO. It is not, therefore, surprising that the ICO have not bothered to do anything to implement the legislation.

Presumably, it needs someone like Microsoft or AOL to take the ICO to court to force them to implement the law.
