You make this sound like an academic argument. Somebody will get killed. Red Arrows cut short a practice at Holbeach last week because a number of microlights infringed the TRA. I don't dispute their right to fly in unrestricted airspace but this shows lack of discipline and poor training.
This is not a legal argument. The TRA is there for a very good reason. Let's not bandy words about " technicalities"; these people are breaking the law.
We all quibble about over regulation but there are quite clearly pilots out there who are a flight safety hazard; no argument.
