Question Confused!?

I am currently training for UK IMC rating, so this problem does not directly affect me, but I had thought that holders of FAA PPL/IR were able to exercise IMC priveleges (as indicated above), but it the goes on to say that they can't fly in accordance with the IFR in controlled airspace..!

I understand our IMC ratings don't let us fly in class A airspace, but what good is an IMC rating (granted on strength of FAA PPL/IR) that can't be used within classes F & D (which I think are the only two categories of controlled airspace that apply)?

Confusing or what!? Seems such a minefield!
