Yes General Aviation in the UK seems to be going through a bad patch in terms of fatal accidents.
We will have to await the conclusions of the accident inquiries before we can make any informed judgements.
There are matters of training, certification and recency which may or may not be relevant. We should bear in mind that private flying is more expensive due to increased fuel costs which may mean pilots are doing less flying and are therefore less in practice.
I only hope we do not have to suffer more restrictions since my hallucination is that the UK government regards private flying with some suspicion borne mainly by ignorance.
