Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No1: Reabold and Union Jack, more beer and popcorn vicar

One of the two used shareholders cash to spy on me HERE, the other sent a fascist lawyers letter as I reported facts as you can see HERE.  Both companies are run by greedy, incompetent knobs. The Reabold (RBD) possible bid for Union Jack (UJO) is dead in the water at so many levels as I explain. It is simply a last desperate ploy by David "trougher" Bramhill to avoid AGM humiliation on June 26 in Bristol. It will not work.

More questions for David “Trougher” Bramhill at Union Jack Oil

As things stand, the much vaunted US operations of Union Jack Oil (UJO) are dribbling out 48 barrels per day. No doubt trougher Bramhill and the gang promise that further drilling will be transformational. We shall see. But ahead of the AGM on 26 June I wonder if Mr Brahmhill might check his records and be prepared to supply to me:

Union Jack Oil: David Bramhill’s other pending payoff – where are the shareholders two swimming pools?

Over at Companies House, David Bramhill of Union Jack Oil (UJO) still lists his address as Fircroft, Barton Lane, Berrynarbor, Ilfracombe Devon. As it happens Brammers looks to be set for at least one enormous payoff this year as the house appears to have been sold, STC, on the Rightmove website. Hopefully, after he is sacked at the AGM on June 26, he will get a second , smaller, payoff.

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.

Harry Adams Greed Reader prize sweepstake

In 2023 Harry ”trougher” Adams earned £362,000 as executive chairman of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). In 2024, despite missing all operational and financial targets and diluting investors to buggery, Adams trousered £733,000 including a £75,000 cash bonus for his outstanding performance and £173,000 for having to work more than four days a week.  So, on the day Adams awards himself yet more options and gives three hundred grand of free shares to his best mate,  what about 2025?

Harry Adams you win an olympic gold for greed you pig headed barstool

The executive chairman of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has no idea quite how much ordinary shareholders who have risked their capital despise him and his cronies on the board. The last time a Kefi director actually bought a share was in 2022. In 2025 I’d wager that Harry "trough" Adams enjoyed a total package of more than $1 million and it will be even more thus time around. Just to rub salt into the wounds after diluting we mugs by 25% with a placing he said just 10 days prior was not needed… its option time.

Has trougher Bramhill sold (at a a loss) the erighty grand Porsche Union Javk Oil bought for its X gimp?

Our expose that Union Jack Oil (UJO) had spaffed eighty grand buying a Porsche with personalised number plates for the gimp who sends out its tweets was one of the numerous governance fails this website has shone a light on, one of the numerous reasons why shareholders should sack the board and back Craig Howie at this summer's GM. But..

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?

BREAKING: Union Jack Corporate excess – the Bath accommodation and fine dining

I shall not let aging trougher David Bramhill laugh at me for long. One good turn deserves another. Last week I looked at the lavish hotel usage of the Union Jack board and company Porsche driving twitter gimp Chris Bailey when in London. However, the headquarters of Union Jack Oil & Gas (UJO) are in Bath.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: If Harry "Trougher" Adams was not such an RNS knob some of the Skins cash would go into Kefi

Where should I reinvest the cash from dumping my Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) shares? I discuss that and welcome your thoughts in the comments section below. Then to Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and a disingenuous RNS today and what the numbers say. Do they add up? Are the shares cheap?

Harry Adams your sense of entitlement is nauseating

A kind reader brings my attention to the Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) website Q&A section and a comment from last month. Harry Adams your sense of entitlement is nauseating. I remain a loyal shareholder as I regard the shares as very cheap but “Trougher” shames even the low standards of AIM.

Kefi, morons report Harry Adams to the FCA: that is why they are morons

There is no news from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) about the final bank sign off on Tulu Kapi. Not even an update on why there is no news so natch morons on Bulletin Boards are lining up saying that old Trougher should be reported to the FCA.

Kefi: What does “within the coming week” mean to you?

Would you pay £3.5 million to reduce your losses by just 1%?

Kefi: you really could not make this up!

On Saturday I explained HERE why the “independent” NEDs at Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) were in fact patsies and that is why Harry “trougher” Adams has been rewarded so generously in 2024 as Shareholders, down 99% since he took charge, took yet another beating. I sense that while institutional investors may see such greed and reward for failure as fine and dandy, almost all private investors share my anger. One, reader B, write to the Kefi generic email address explicitly asking for his stinging comments to be passed onto the members of the Remuneration Committee who are supposedly “independent” of Adams.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: It's beer & popcorn time c/o Doc Holliday, Eurasia Mining and Gerry "the arse" Brandon

I start with NatWest (NWG) and another part of the bonkers legacy of disgraced trougher Alison Rose then I look at Eurasia Mining (EUA), NightCap (NGHT), More Acquisitions (TMOR), Cellular Goods (CBX), Microsaic (MSYS) – another kill for the Sheriff – and finally I have a long look at Invinity (IES) which is, I think, a compelling short.

I start with the scandal and it is a scandal at Thames Water even if the greedy trougher of an ex CEO was a bird. Sure diversity blah, blah, blah. Then it is onto a reader request on Gemfields (GEM), Predator Oil & Gas (PRD), Seed Innovations (SEED) – its own worst enemy – and finally Optibiotix (OPTI) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX). At least listen to what I have to say before abusing me!

Time is up for Nick Trew and trougher Sir Henry Bellingham MP at Pathfinder - are they misleading investors?

I first encountered Sir Henry Bellingham MP when he rented out his good name to the wholesale AIM fraud that was 3DM (now in administration). Did he care that there was massive evidence of fraud? Well not enough to resign for many years while taking his fees. He is the sort of A Grade troughing shite that gives Tory MPs such a bad name. He is now a director of Pathfinder Minerals (PFP), but for how long. Richard Jennings of Align Research owns 4% of the stock and is now calling for Sir Hal and CEO Nick Trew to go at once. I support that call. Jennings has published a very strong letter indeed today making damning accusations.  Over to Richard:

Thieving Pig (literally) – Lancashire Police Commissioner Clive Grunshaw

I always thought the Police Commissioner elections were a waste of space. It was just another chance of the lower members of the political establishment to stick their snouts in the trough. Step forward thieving pig Clive Grunshaw, a long serving Labour councillor and as of last month the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire. He is also a thief. Go ahead and sue me Clive. Oink Oink. Sleaze. Sleaze. Oink. Oink.

The excellent Topofthecops.com blog has used FOI information to trawl Grunshaw’s expenses claims. I pass you over to that blog:

“In 2009 when Commissioner Grunshaw held roles as a County Councillor and a member of the Police Authority, he claimed that he had spent from 8 am to 1 pm on 28 September on Police Authority duties, involving a round-trip of 56 miles apparently from his home in Fleetwood to Police Headquarters at Hutton, near Preston, but then claimed 46 miles from the County Council for a round-trip to County Hall at Preston the same day, apparently being absent from home on that occasion between 12 noon and 5 pm. It is not clear how he left home on the second occasion an hour before he had arrived home from his Police Authority duties, or why he travelled 51 miles via his home instead of the 5 mile direct journey.
