The UK Crown Estate claims ownership of the land that its on and the people there are considered squatters. They claim the area 12 miles around the structure but actually have no legal ownership of it, as they will find out when construction of the planned off-shore wind farms begins there in the near future. these constructions will go ahead within the so called ‘sealand territory’ and i suspect any attempt to halt such developments will be dealt with seriously as they are in UK waters. personally it think that if they wish to live in a run down ex military building we should let them, but opening fire on passing vessels is unacceptable.
