Writing to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood: why not seek the extradition of criminal Julie Meyer from Greece

Julie “sex toys on expenses” Meyer has fled the UK to avoid serving a six month stretch for contempt of court. So what if she did not pay lawyers Farrar & Co as its work for her was in harassing both myself as an investigative journalist and the whistleblower known as John Galt. Farrar lawyer Julian Pike is a scumbag and I am glad he was not paid. However Meyer has committed far more serious acts and for those crimes she should pay. I have written to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood

Meanwhile Darren and I are working like demons on tomorrow’s bombshell exposes. Set your alarms for 8.10 AM. No public sector style lie-ins even if you do work in the public sector.

AIM Casino Market Statistics for February 2026 are predictably dire, I wonder who Crazy Meg will blame?

Theis is the lowest level for 23 years and no doubt Crazy Meg at Bloomberg blames that entirely on evil Tom Winnifrith, nobody else. Actually it is even worse than it looks.

As this website exposed, Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) lied with its very first RNS when it joined the main market at 1p just over five years ago. It claimed to have raised cash before joining but its later published annual reported showed that it had not. The cash came in after the IPO once spivs had flipped the stock as the company, floated as an oil explorer, spoofed mugs with a supposed foray into blockchain  taking the shares to almost 4p. Today there is a a killer admission, in fact four killers and the shares are just 0.055p, a market cap of a Bernie and a Half. That is far too high..

Carillion boss fined by the FCA: what does that mean for Bluebird’s Sath and the fraudster Stuart Ashman?

I fear that the answer is not very much. Not because it shouldn’t but because the penalties handed out by the FCA are so utterly piffling. The FCA wants us to get excited as former Carillion CEO Richard Howson was yesterday fined £237,700 for his part in misleading statements being issued by his company. Put that in context. In his last full year in charge Howson trousered a total package of £1.5 million. His payoff when he left as the firm collapsed in 2017 was £660,000.  He was CEO for five and a half years and his net wealth must be closer to £10 million than to £5 million.  This fine is a drop in the Ocean.

BP – Q4 and full-year 2025 results, still income value

BP (BP.) has announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results with the headline news that it has decided to suspend the share buyback to accelerate the pay down of debt. That process is being driven by the sale of non-core assets, notably Castrol and the green rubbish that previous management backed. The market has responded by marking the shares down to around 450p, but that still compares well to our below 350p tip last year and the following is why we agree with the company’s move and believe there is further upside.

Drinking whisky with Warwick School paedophile Charles Watmough at his house: an OW recollects

Five OWs have now come forward to allege sexual abuse against former Warwick School music teacher Charles Watmough. He was interviewed under caution by the Police but for reasons I cannot explain they decided not to prosecute. I tracked him down to Scarborough where he now lives, a couple of years ago, and attempted to doorstep him but he refused to answer the door. Over the weekend another OW has been in touch.

Warwick School and where it all started: the sadistic bastard Geoff Eve, another OW remembers another crime

As Warwick finally, partially ‘fesses up, numerous OW’s have today been in touch regarding both sexual and physical abuse. Here is one chap talking about Eve.

Warwick School paedophile in Court, the School names Paul Stainsby but continues the cover up as Police investigate another monster

Since then, thanks to the power of Google, I have been swamped with emails from boys recounting horrors past, chatted to some and can reveal that another teacher from my era is now under Police investigation.

Photo Article: global warming falling in Wales, Greece and France exposes the Orwellian ways of the grifters and "experts"

These global warming nutters don’t like it up ‘em,, do they. Facts! They can be an inconvenient truth. All over Europe snow has fallen as the “experts” told us it would not. We may start our tour in France where less than two weeks ago the ghastly Daily Mail trotted out the annual Deadwood Press Media GroupThink warning of how lack of snow was killing skiing. As I exposed here that was fake news. As of now average snowfalls in France are 151% of long term norms and avalanches are killing those brave enough to ski. What of the UK?

Video: another cracking Eldur Olaffson interview

This time it is on Bloomberg. The Amaroq (AMRQ) CEO really is polished. Again he is talking about Black Angel being in production next year. There is also a question he dodges on whether Amaroq will be a takeover target. I think it more than likely and that if there is a bid an auction will ensue. I am certainly not selling and am delighted as to how my largest holding and a tip of the year again is shaping up. Enjoy

Lemming: weaponising my mum’s suicide by suggesting I have mental health issues will not achieve anything

These days, whenever I pen anything on Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), within a day a substack pushed by a small furry rodent produces an essay, apparently penned by a psychologist. The gist of the article is always the same: Tom Winnifrith is clueless and losing ther plot while that chap Lemming is a frigging genius. A couple of imaginary stats about my trading account are thrown in and Robert’s your father’s brother. Last night the Lemming's chum was at it again.

The annual MSM global warming is ruining skiing hoax exposed within a week, fake news in the Daily Mail

I pick on the Mail as it is a loathsome rag and always falls for this fake news but all the MSM are equally bad. Back in 2023 I exposed the BBC for pushing almost identical fake news HERE. This is almost an annual ritual. On December 31 2025, as you can see below, the Mail ran images of snow free ski lifts at Chamonix and warned that snow levels were disastrous and would shut ski centres across the country because of global warming. Well guess what?

Climate change grifter Dale Vince tweets 17 days ahead of the UK's heaviest snowfall for ten years

Travel delays for the my pal the Euroloon as he arrives at the Greek Hovel – oh sweet irony!

When I arrived at Athens airport last week the EU and non EU lines were of almost equal length and took almost equal time to clear. So much for Brexit induced travel chaos. But predictably, my pal J, known as the Euroloon, and his fragrant Mrs. who are joining me for this year’s olive harvest, got stuck in a long line yesterday and angry texts about Brexit soon ensued. So they were snagged at Athens airport for an hour and happily blamed me and Nigel Farage personally.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: stunning gold & copper grades from Amaroq, it and Ariana can both double but why I prefer the former

Both shares could double but I know where I plan to invest more. I also mention my other gold holding, Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI)

Some of you have read my barrage of criticism of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) as a pump so that I could dump my shares. My many times repeated bearcast assertions that I cannot recommend others own the stock are to be ignored (even just on Friday as I stuck the knife in I concluded with the CRAP phrase! - a phrase any City person knows to mean sell) and that I am a scumbag for not flagging here that I was going to sell my shares before I did. This and another Evri disaster put me in a bad mood. I walk you through events from Friday morning and explain why I believe I acted correctly but apologise if you think I did not. I offer AGM voting advice for those still holding Skins. To appease the mob, I flag up that I may sell my Optibiotix (OPTI) shares but explain why I am not selling Probiotix (PBX)

For various reasons I found myself on a video call with Andrew Webley today. We had scheduled a 30 minute chat but we talked for 75 minutes. I am a miserable man with few friends but I admit that I like Webley and would happily go for a non alcoholic drink with him. He has made errors but I can accept that they were not deliberate and he is thus definitively NOT a grifter. So does that make shares in The Smarter Web Company (SWC) a buy? No. And I explain why. But at 44.5p are they super overvalued? They might be if bitcoin crashes or if Strategy (US: MSTR) blows up and I don't think Webley would disagree. But he, like many others reckon neither will happen despite the obvious red flag of the corporate jet Strategy is buying for Michael Saylor as you can see in a regulatory disclosure below. .

BREAKING: A letter from the SEC to Paul Mathieson of Amazing AI and about Paul’s former backer the murderer

As I flagged up at the time of the 80p IPO , the lending business of Amazing AI (AAI) had already been listed three times before it listed on AQSE. In Australia, the Seychelles and on the US Pink Sheets. Each time, losses were enormous and it all went utterly Pete Tong with delistings and investors losing everything. AQSE Regulation seemed cool with this in allowing the IPO fourth time around although there has been lengthy communications on a number of occasions since. But in the US Pink sheet era ( 2013 to 2019) the SEC did kick up a public fuss. I am preparing a very detailed dossier on that, on spoof M&A activity which were in fact disguised placings, director share sales and appalling financials .

Two Tweets: Come on Jimbo tell me that Michael Saylor is not mad

Phoenix Group Holdings – income value

The following is why that suggests a valuation meaning a prospective above 8% dividend yield looks too harsh.

Tom Winnifrith Self Reports to the FCA, AIM Regulation and AQSE Regulation over Amazing AI and other falsely alleged short selling

Paul Mathieson of Amazing AI (AAI) says that he will report me to all the regulators. To save him the effort I have today reported myself to the FCA, AIM Regulation and AQSE Regulation requesting a full investigation into the allegations against me. I do not short sell, I do not profit from short selling, I am not part of a gang and, as such, suggestions that I am are defamatory. Let’s get the FCA and all the regulators to investigate me in full. I want the regulators to investigate every aspect of my finances so to clear my name once and for all. That would, of course, give me the option of a low cost route to commence legal proceedings against those who suggest otherwise. Remember the onus of proof is on those making the claim.

Its financial section is, as I have flagged up on many occasions, guilty of gross moral turpitude. Pumping La Willingham’s Nightcap (NGHT) with bogus numbers was one crime.

On Friday, after Matt Western, the Labour MP for Warwick & Leamington declined to do anything about historic sexual abuse at Warwick School and the cover up which protected offenders, I was almost tempted to give up. But encouraged by a couple of OWs I have gone into battle yet again. For this matter affects victims not just in Warwick. I do not now how long I shall live, but I have been battling for fourteen years (not twelve as stated below) to get Warwick School’s massive historic abuse issue out into the open, so there is no way I am giving up now. This, and a couple of stockmarket fraudsters where there is unfinished businesses, are battles I shall see through to the end. Mine or theirs!

Marking October 7th – Never Again is now!

Today, I remember the worst one day slaughter of Jews since world war two, the October 7 pogrom of two years ago in Israel. 1195 people were murdered, babies, kids, women, holocaust survivors. Many of the women and girls were raped and sodomised by Hamas before being executed. Bodies such as the UN refused to see that #Metoo applied to Jewish women and denial of the atrocities Hamas themselves filmed is still widespread. Other folks were kidnapped. Still today, 20 live jews and bodies of 28 dead jews remain in tunnels under Gaza. We remember this event and we should all say Never Again. But, to Britain’s eternal shame we will not.

Along the way, I exposed how it had mugged poor pensioner Jim Bagot and then covered it up with its then CEO acting like a prize shit at the AGM I attended with the impoverished OAP. It employed the China fraud specialist Paul Shackleton to list shitcos on AIM and acted for cons such as Versarien (VRS). But all good things must come to an end…

More bad news for Belluscura, surely the Fat Lady is gargling as P45s fly and Directors rush to abandon ship

Round at Evil Banksta towers this morning, Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd is allowing himself yet another smug grin on yet another brilliant call as Belluscura (BELL) serves up yet more bad news. This looks increasingly terminal. The whole episode makes me think of the Bangles and Mr Spock.

Hot Rocks Investments – the new home of Gavin Burnell of Globo and Elephant Oil infamy: when you engage with Ron Bauer who cares about IFRS?

One of those colourful characters from the London Small cap world shown in yesterday’s bearcast expose to have engaged with the now twice convicted fraudster Ron Bauer is our own Gavin Burnell of Globo infamy. He is also the managing director of AQSE listed Hot Rocks Investments (HRIP). Gavin owned 29.54% of the shares at 31 March 2024 and a Jonathan Bellis owned 15.5%. Yes that is the King of the spivs in the small cap broking community, currently plying his filthy trade at bucket shop Novum.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: EXPOSED, the twice convicted fraudster at the heart of UK small caps and how his tentacles spread

I name names of those guilty of crime and those who just look the other way. Among the companies linked to this fraudster are Red Rock Resources (RRR), Union Jack Oil (UJO) Hemogenyx (HEMO), Sealand Capital Galaxy (SCGL), zak Mir's Lift Global Ventures (LFT), Globo (GBO) and Genflow (GENF). The FCA gets a note about Sealand and its CEO tomorrow but anyone holding shares in any company with a direct link here is insane.

Predator Oil & Gas: Why behave like this? Might the AGM vote down resolution 6

I wonder how many, impoverished, shareholders in Predator Oil & Gas (PRD) are now beginning to realise that the problem, other than owning shit assets, is not nasty investigative journalists like me but crazy old coot CEO Paul Griffiths? He did promise that if the share price had not raced ahead by July of this year to reflect the value he claimed was inherent, he would take the fight to those conspiring against Predator, the FCA, evil market makers, internet scumbags like myself and, wielding the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play he would put the world to rights. We are still waiting.
