Common Goods are a wealth that could sort out most of the problems we the ordinary people face, by making for a better society. These goods are all the lands, buildings, and movable items, gifted to the people over the centuries. It is a wealth that hasn't been properly audited and is known to be worth at least, many millions of pounds. These items are supposed to be held in safe keeping, with the various councils as custodians, to look after them on behave of the people. However by some trick of the mind, these councils seem to believe that they own the common goods, to do with as they wish. Which in most cases is to sell them off, and spend the money as they see fit. This is criminal and blatant theft of the people's assets for commercial gain.
Scottish land reform researcher Andy Wightman explaining the basics of
Common Good assets in Scotland. Common Good are land, buildings and
artefacts that have been given to the people of a burgh or town as
common property and for benefit of their common wellbeing. For more
