But I didn't say that did I Stuart? Nowhere in my post did I use the term "banned".

A judicial review or other similar legal process will clarify if these devices are legal or not.

The fact still remains that if somebody in my neighbourhood is using these devices, and I suffer and report interference to OFCOM then the devices stand a good chance of being removed.

Then you aren't or haven't looked hard enough. Devices have been removed, how many I don't know, but they have been.

RFI precautions/preventions? They are transmitting wideband RF from close range on the same frequencies that I use Kymmy, how can "normal RFI precautions/preventions" help that. My equipment is doing what it's supposed to do, receive what's on that frequency.

I've suffered interference from these devices, thankfully the offending party moved house before I reported the issue. It was full scale blanket interference from practically DC up to around 38Mhz. And trust me, NOTHING could be done.

I take it you don't operate on HF? and/or ever witnessed this kind of interference first hand?

To be honest, I think the general attitude is that a bunch of old folk sat in back rooms clutching morse keys are holding back innovation. I have to say i'm surprised by your stance a bit Kymmy, thought you'd understand the problem a bit more.
