Union Jack Oil: the GM battle lines are officially drawn

Would Union Jack Oil (UJO) have followed QCA guidelines and put the whole board up for reelection at the AGM had Craig Howie who owns 9% of the equity not submitted a resolution to that effect? Perhaps. Perhaps not. I showed on Monday how Union Jack claims to follow QCA Guidance but in fact does not.

The Quoted Companies Alliance – a racket which is everything I loathe about City complacency and contempt for shareholders

If you search the interweb you will find only good words about the QCA. The truth is it is part of another fat cat stitch up of we poor retail investors.

BREAKING: Union Jack Oil sticks two fingers up to the Quoted Companies Alliance

Trougher David Bramhill and his gang running Union Jack Oil (UJO) into the ground say that they follow the guidelines set out by the QCA with regard to Corporate Governance. But that is demonstrably not true.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Setting up a PLC fraud in 2026, step 1 say you follow QCA Guidelines!

I discuss various steps I'd take if Sam Antar and I were setting up a PLC fraud in 2026. One of them is to say we follow QCA Guidance on corporate governance. With reference to three non frauds ( well 2 anyway) Optibiotix (OPTI), Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) but especially Union Jack Oil (UJO) I discuss this point.

BREAKING: Craig Howie has the votes at Union Jack Oil, is there a ramp off for trougher Bramhill and the gang?

Craig Howie says that he has been overwhelmed by the response from shareholders in Union Jack Oil (UJO) both institutional and retail to his plans to sack the board. The only question is whether the aging troughers David Bramhill and Joe O’Farrell will put up a fight as we head to a June AGM. Does Bramhill really believe in QCA guidance he has signed up to?

Craig Howie call to arms at Union Jack Oil

Union Jack Oil (UJO), the company that bought an eighty grand Porsche for the gimp who runs its X account, spent shareholders cash on spook to troll its own shareholders and journalists including me, and where the board troughs salaries and expenses on an industrial scale needs to hold a its AGM in the summer.  The company has signed up to the QCA best practice guide which means that ALL directors should be up for reelection. The chances of it actually doing that? Nil.

Victoria director share buying: put it in context as one examines a corporate governance FAIL

There has been a brief halt in the relentless slide in the share price of drowning in debt Victoria (VCP) with news that NED Gavin Petken and his Mrs., Lorraine, have splashed out just a smidgeon over fifty grand on buying shares at 26.9p. Gavin and Lorraine have taken one for the team. But have they?

Skinbiotherapeutics: AGM dissembling, the words of the QCA twisted by Stuart Ashman

Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) has today confirmed that it is still on track to meet broker forecasts which it confirmed it was on track to meet with results on December 5. Wow: 13 days without a profits warning, give Stuart Ashman a bonus. What a prick. But then it turns to the AGM where it says it has posted a Q&A in response to some shareholder questions. It dissembles.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: We follow QCA guidelines they all say and then don't and are we still in 1973 for gold prices?

Referencing a number of companies I discuss how so many insist they follow QCA guidelines and simply don't. Then I look at whether we are, in fact, only in the foothills of a generational fiat debauch.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No1: who cares about the QCA as peasants at Union Jack are still revolting?

En passant I mention Ariana (AAU) and Optibiotix (OPTI) but this bearcast is about Union Jack Oil (UJO) where the peasants are still revolting but where two old men must now fall on heir sword.

Hemogenyx - who has Peter Redmond, aged 177 3/4, been mumbling to or not?

I was promised an imminent update of the health status of patients 1 and 2 by an advisor to overpromoted box of snakes shitco Hemogenyx (HEMO) two days ago. I have heard nothing which makes me fear for their health. They will be in my prayers tonight since had they been running half marathons I would have had a speedy response saying just that. And this silence, as I explained HERE, should make shareholders run for the hills.

NED of the year Nominations now open: what a farce

As someone who did once pick up an award (Daytime TV programme of the year) I say quite honestly that all awards are bunkum. The Sunday Times Newspaper is now promoting the 2026 Non Executive Director awards, Nominations are now open. Have a look at the 2025 winners. There were eight gongs handed out at a Claridges bean feast.
