In fact, the UK did not agree to do it. I did not agree to do it, the Environment Agency (the government body responsible for allowing or disallowing such things) did not agree to it and there is to be a legal hearing on the matter before the dismantling is allowed to go ahead. Able UK are an independent company, not a national body. They and the US Navy made this agreement, apperently without even the slightest concern for British law or popular opinion.
