No doubt you're one of the responsible drone pilots - I'm sure most are - they're not the ones to worry about.

Dozens, maybe. The truck hire is tracked/registered with photo ID. Why shouldn't drone ownership/operation also be tracked?

.......or I can fly a drone which may have a payload capacity of 200g at a guess and give someone a nasty burn.

Several kg's for the largest, actually .... exploded in the path of, say, an A380 on take off ... or filled with ball bearings over a crowd. It's a lot easier to fly a drone over/in front of a target than a truck unless you want to be a suicide bomber.

Do we start licensing people who make paper planes next because they could write a nasty message on it that may hurt someone’s feelings?

I'll take that as a comment.

Just think we may be going a little far hassling hobby drone pilots is all I’m saying. (And yes I am a drone pilot who is sick of being told I can’t fly places when I know I play by the current rules)

If you use it responsibly, in an area that doesn't present a hazard, then regulations shouldn't impact you at all. If they do, then maybe you should re-evaluate what hazard/nuisance your drone presents?
