It is illegal. It's as simple as that and in this instance it isn't like you have no other option there are options available to stay legal. My advice is to use one of those.

Like everything else as long as you are prepared to pay the fine then you have few limitations. Just remember that when you are raided for one thing they search everything. So why take the chance?

But up to you as it always is.

Aye, illegal it may be, but so is breaking the speed limit, and there's always the option to slow down...

Getting legal with one of these involves time, which I'm not prepared to give up when I have the equipment already and it's exceedingly simple to use and contact others and give them a made up callsign. I'm sure there's probably a cost involved also.

I very much doubt I'm going to get my house raided for using a ham radio when I don't have a license. Especially when no one knows who they are actually talking to. They may struggle to locate me.

Everyone knows the risks of breaking the law. But you've got to get caught first...
