It can actually be a bit of a grey area if occupied for protest

Really dependent on the scale of things and how the courts/cops a feeling about it I think

I don't know the law, so that may be right, but obviously in this case we don't know enough to say what's going on. With a house like that, wouldn't you expect staff to live there permanently, so that it wouldn't be unoccupied? Also, did the protesters just enter it to protest, or did they claim squatters' rights? I'd guess that they could be removed in either case, although I'm sure it may well be more complicated than that.

It's probably impossible to pay those staff and possibly illegal for them to accept the money.

Yep, I would have been out the door with a couple of candlesticks to cover wage arrears when the threat of sanctions hit.
