Bona Contention

I’ve been having a spot of bother with the law. No! I mean it literally. It is said (I say it this way because I don’t believe it) that the law in Scotland is based on an ancient concept called Bona Vacantia that anything without an owner belongs to your lord and master the King. Which in a daft sop to sexism means queen.
Now, on principle I’m nobody’s servant. In a modern society we are all equals. We may have different jobs and different skills, and some may be experts etc., but underneath we are all equal before the law.
Now where I have problems is that we are being told that anything we find in Scotland has to be handed to the treasuretrove unit. This is in clear contradiction to the Civic Government Act 1982 which says it has to be handed to the police.
But the treasuretrove unit keep insisting that everything goes to them, because they are acting for the Queen and … basically two fingers up to what the law says, because their word is law (NOT!)
Now Bona Vacantia has been used by the Queen to claim all kinds of things in Scotland: lost property, “lost” oil, “lost” sea bed …. it’s funny how much we Scots are loosing from this … I thought Scotland belonds to the Scots … but apparently that is just an absurd idea.
Basically the Queen is taking anything & everything she can get away with …. no doubt she’d take the air we breathed and ask to pay if she could get away with it.
… DO YOU SEE WHERE I’M GOING?
Well if everything that doesn’t belong to anyone belongs to the Queen, if the gas under the rocks belongs to her, that why not the CO2 in the air that came from the gas beneath the rocks?
And, if it belongs to her, why am I having to pay higher electricity bills because of her CO2 floating about the air?
Its not “everything that has no owner belongs to the Queen …. except the things she doesn’t want”. If everything belongs … then she should accept that owning everything may have benefits, but it also makes her responsible for all the pollution, the CO2, etc.
But then I wonder. Does “everything” include ideas. OK, she might light the idea of raking in the money from all the patents pending, and all the inventions and copyright etc.
But doesn’t that also mean that she owns ideas like racism, nazism? Where could this end? Could the Queen be put on trial for the existence of racism?
In other words, the whole thing is a stupid principle. All the old stones in the 17th century that now sit in museums clearly belonged to the land-owner. The truth is that someone invented this idea and then pretending it was ancient by writing it in Latin. (The first sign law isn’t worth the paper it is written on is that someone writes it in Latin).
But the possibility of getting the Queen to pay for all that global warming instead of me!!
Where’s the small claims court?
