Don't they fly IFR in IMC without radar separation in the UK all the time?

I ran into an old client today and we stumbled on to the flying topic.
Turns out he got his PP a couple years ago and bought a plane.

He said with a completely straight face that he's thinking of getting an
instrument rating because he "flies in IMC a lot." He does OK but would
like to be able to ask ATC where the other planes are and fly into towered
airports.

Yikes! What are they teaching student pilots these days? I've asked here
before and seem to find myself asking myself that question a lot. You
can'
t teach common sense but the legality of what he's doing didn't even seem
to
be on his radar screen.

What does ATC do when they see a 1200 target boring through what they know
is solid IMC?
