But Mr Burgess said he had no intention of moving out of what has become his summer home

So he doesn't really live there then? sounds like he has somewehere else to live.

I know a guy who lives in a similar wooden hut just south of Hexham. He has permission from the land owner and does odd jobs to pay his keep.
It was pretty weird when I first seen the shack, old English woodland then smoke arising from a wooden round house artificially camouflaged with bracken and the like.

well lets be honest if we disapprove of people lifestyles surely the state/the majority can fall down on him like a ton of bricks to make him conform to our norms?
Is this not what democaracy is about?
