Mostly spin and bull!!!! I am afraid, the CAA is largely an empty vessel, the DfT have delegated everything except LAA and Annex 2 to the EU and EASA. The CAA is bound to follow EU regulations and will do so slavishly as is the UK habit whilst others pay only lip service.
The EU are going ahead with all manner of regulation despite ICAO votes to the contrary, and having spoken to a delegate at a conference they were described as a benign form of fascism who extol democracy only whilst it fulfils their wishes. The UK CAA have truly shot themselves in the foot and us between the eyes I cannot see how the demise of GA can be reversed under the current circumstances.
