IMC Rating - for emergency use only?

[Pace]

Really I do not understand the question! It now appears that the IMCR will not be allowed in the UK and as such is dead and buried.
What point a new pilot setting out on that rating or even existing ones revalidating the rating using their money.
My advice is to hot shoe it to the USA for a couple of weeks and add an FAA IR where it looks like EASA will give you an EASA IR with ease I stress the words looks like ???
