The real scandal of the £250,000 homes handed to migrants in Shropshire, the asylum claim of Muhammad Nadeem

In rural Shropshire a quarter of a million buys you a fairly decent new build house. Hence there is some anger from locals, whose kids struggle to get on the housing ladder, that 21 homes on a new estate at Stoke Heath have been bought by Serco to house 83 asylum seekers who will be living there for free while funded on benefits. But to me the real absurdity of the asylum laws is revealed by the 1 family of asylum seekers already on site. That is Muhammad Nadeem, Shamaila and their four kids.

Shares in Bluebird Mining Ventures (BMV) have today hit a new low of 0.0475p, a market cap of just £1.4 million. Less than a year ago Lyin’ Sath said he was going to make this a billion dollar ( or was it pounds) company!. Maybe he was talking Zim dollars? Three questions for Bluebird’s disgraced CEO:

Technology has a number of hurdles to overcome before it actually receives the cash because as the fund raise was below the nominal value of Technology shares it is required to completing a subdivision of shares.

Petra Diamonds takes another step on the pathway to 0p – Finch squawks

I have penned more bearish articles on Petra Diamonds (PDL) over the years than I have had inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole. Okay that is not true. But I’ve penned a good many. And in recent months I have urged you to short as never before as the end game approaches. Today the company took another big step on the pathway to wipeout but it is not too late to short.

Two Tier Justice – Angela Rayner and the taxman

Imagine the scene. The NHS cocks up your kid's operation and you get vast compensation which you use to buy a luxury shag pad for you and your new partner hundreds of miles away from your, now, handicapped kid. You fill in the forms incorrectly and dodge forty grand of tax on the purchase. But someone dobs you into the HMRC and it starts to investigate. Feck! there is a big job opening up  you want to put in for and this is still hanging around your neck.

The shares were 14p when Baldry slithered on board just under 10 years ago. They were suspended at 0.85p on march 31 when Nomad Strand Hanson and the loathsome Baldry walked the plank.

Futura Medical 2025 results really are a limp dick – will it even survive into 2027?

The fundamental problem that Futura Medical (FUM) has always had is that its ED product Eroxxon does not seem to impress users at all and thus repeat orders are minimal and with high marketing costs to win new custom it has always been doomed.  Calendar 20025 results out today are window dressed but appalling. The warnings about when the Fat Lady could be calling are explicit. This has a zero written all over it, as Lucian and I have been warning for years.

Now ex Reform activist the Lemming on Stack Bitcoin

I have already made my views on Stack Bitcoin (STAK), Nigel Farage’s involvement and today’s news of an ATM Death Spiral clear. No doubt Farage would argue this is political nit-picking from, someone planning to voye Plaid Cymru in May. But the Lemming Investor was a keen Reform Party activist. He now writes abvout what happened when he questioned the party about this matter. It was Orwellian and anti democratic. Over to the Lemming…

A new golden era of short selling – Carson Block

Trying to cover the links to criminal conspiracy and worse, Paul Mathieson literally shows he doesn't give a 4X

I guess given the way its shares went from 80p to 0.3p before leaving AQSE, the criminal conspiracy it funded involving Harvey Weinstein rape victim enforcer Seth Freedman and Nick Leeson, the resignation of advisors and so much else, the Amazing AI (AAI) brand name is not what it used to be. As you can see below, it has now been changed. Boss Paul Mathieson literally does not give a 4X anymore.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: what would I do if I was Kwasi Kwarteng looking after Nigel Farage's money at Stack BTC

The current business model does not stack up so maybe just sell all the bitcoin and bet the ranch on Plaid Cymru, not Reform, winning the Senedd elections in May. Cymru am byth. Ok that would be almost as rash as carrying on as now. The shares have dived from peak Farage hype of 18.55p to just 7.725p in just three weeks. They are still more than 50% overvalued. So what should Kwasi do?

How old TW literally cost Technology Minerals £4.6 million!

Asset manager Jeffrey Christian argues that notwithstanding the sell off of the last week, gold is in a long-term secular upward trend, with the current bull market potentially 60-70% through its cycle. He emphasizes that gold serves as a financial asset, a safe haven, and a portfolio diversifier.

Upland marks its own card as a £42 million spoof as it joins the US OTCQB gang

Nigel Farage and the Kwasi Kwarteng Stack sham raising another two million quid – Nigel is financially raping his own followers

I put this article outside a paywall as a service to Reform UK voters – your leader is leading you up the financial garden path and it is you who will pay for this with your own hard cash. I am no swivel eyed Remoaner. My grandfather, Sir John Winnifrith, spoke publicly in the 1975 Referendum arguing we should leave the EEC. My uncle, godfather and mentor Christopher Booker was dubbed “the grandfather of Euroscepticism” by Farage himself.  Euroscepticism is hardwired into my DNA and, until now, I would almost certainly have voted Reform in May. But Farage is behaving like a rotter.

As I revealed in bearcast earlier Bloomberg has, at a very senior level, finally, reached out to me about the role its reporters Meg Short, Will Shaw and possibly others, played in the conspiracy funded by fraud and involving the paid goons Nick Leeson of Barings infamy and Seth Freedman of Harvey Weineten eternal infamy.  I am in no doubt that its belated response is down to some of you. Now can others keep up the good work and also broaden out the revelation of conspiracy . Here is how…

Playing whack-a-fraud with Alessandro Zamboni and Dominic White

But the maths does not quite stack up and they make Monday’s RNS claims from Kavango look like a total Jackanory. Let me explain.

Letter to AIM Regulation: Tanfield must sack its fraudster director Martin Groak now

On the Leeson & Freedman thugs: the shameful reaction of Fleet Street and Bloomberg

Open Letter to Mike Bloomberg & John Micklethwait as Bloomberg journalists assist Nick Leeson & Seth Freedman as they seek to “destroy me” in a campaign paid for by a fraud

Earlier today I revealed how fraudulent company Amazing AI paid Nick Leeson of Barings infamy and Seth Freedman, who was hired to harass the women Harvey Weinstein raped, to destroy me to protect that fraud. At the heart of a vile dirty tricks campaign were Bloomberg journalists Meg Short and Will Shaw who liaised with Freedman on when Amazing AI would issue releases and who promoted a defamatory dossier created by Freedman to a number of PLC CEOs.  Bloomberg prides itself on its ethical journalism and thus I have written to its founder Mike Bloomberg and its editor in chief John Micklethwait with six demands or at least requests. Suffice to say in reaching out to Bloomberg I have had no feedback or response at all. And so I publish this letter outside the paywall. And the next time anyone from Bloomberg boasts about ethical journalism tell them to stick this letter, you know where...

Letter to the FCA re paid thugs Nick Leeson & Seth Freedman protecting fraud and what it means for whistleblowing in London

The UK financial regulator the FCA has, quite correctly, taken big steps to encourage whistleblowing. It knows that if the London markets are to be credible and seen as credible then whistleblowers, and indeed, journalists need to be able to report investment and financial crime. The FCA will thus be horrified by today’s hard evidence publishedHERE that thugs Nick Leeson and Seth Freedman are taking money from fraudsters or investors in fraud to threaten me, but one suspects others, to protect fraud. In fact I know the FCA is horrified as I have been discussing this with it since last week. I have now written to its CEO Nikhil Rathi.

No knicker wetting please: keep calm and carry on up the share price chart Kefi

The same sort of folks who used to send me panicked emails  when Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) shares were 0.45p are sending me them again today. Back then it was to ask if that deranged old coot Magna Carta  was right and if the shares really were going to 0p. Today they are 1.845p but still my computer is picking up the smell of knicker wetting.

Letter to the FCA and AIM Regulation: Silence from Jade Road & John Croft not acceptable

On 12 February I revealed here how AIM listed Jade Road Investments (JADE) led by John Croft was facing a £109 million legal claim, something that dwarfs its cash reserves of sub £6 million and its puny market cap. Jade has made no comment but I have confirmed today with the claimant that the claim is very much live although Jade has not actually responded to it. I have written to both AIM Regulation  but also the FCA as this also concerns Main Market Listed Golden Rock Global (GCG).

The UK’s most popular politician Zack Polanksi stated last night  that the true wealth creators are cleaners, teachers and nurses while we capitalists merely suck out wealth.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) should be issuing an RNS. Crazed loon Magna Carta should be bringing his donkey to Wrexham right now. Tulu Kapi really is happening. The Prime Minister of Ethiopia has sent the X post below complete with pictures. We are underway. The shares, now 1.91p, are easily worth 6p on fundamentals within 2 years as I explained HERE at the weekend. Now for that RNS...

Tom Winnifrith BONUS bearcast: unravelling the full extent of the Skinbiotherapeutics fraud

Unlike most commentators I have sat on an AIM PLC board ( Port Erin Biopharma) so know how it works, uinderstand about monthly board packs and what directors should know. As such I go back to the 19th November 2024 to unveil the timeline and the full extent of the fraud at Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), a  fraud whuch means that only one, now, current director should keep her job. Any enquiry which does not demand certain documents I discuss is a whitewash. I suggest that anyone buying the shares ahead of what must surely come out is insane.

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.

No doubt crazy Meg at Bloomberg will be condemning my crude language and double entendres and saying that it damages AIM and my own credibility while also blaming myself and Lucian (and the global shorting conspiracy) for shares in Futura Medical (FUM) crashing from 52p to 1.3p in just 29 months. It is all down to our beastly and hurty words and nothing to do with the fact that the financials have been atrocious as there are so few repeat purchases of the company’s ED product.

Falcon Edge Placing ahoy?

I covered the IPO of FalconEdge (EDGE) on AQSE on October 31 HERE.
