PS. I'll happily admit that most ATC in the UK (and Ireland) seem to try to provide some sort of seperation for VFR/VFR but it's not their responsibility.
Agree entirely, and would bet if they did not, there would be a hell of a lot more incidents.
Try visiting Perth, Scone, on a busy spring day.
Pilots responsibility through and through, see and be seen. The air/ground/ATC, call it what you will, can inform of traffic that they know about, but it falls to the pilot to keep clear of other traffic, despite what that other traffic may be doing.
Have seen it all at Perth, quite shocking in some instances
