When David “trougher” Bramhill at Union Jack Oil (UJO) hooked up with FCA Regulated advisor Gneiss Energy I flagged up that it would be a costly exercise pointing to the two part expose on Jon Fitzpatrick and Gneiss I had published a few years back HERE and HERE. But who listens to old Tom?

Thanks to the “keyboard warriors” on this website we all know that under David “trougher” Bramhill Union Jack Oil (UJO) hired corporate spooks to spy on and prepare a dossier on some of its own shareholders as well as Fagash, myself and Fagash’s g/f. In gathering that information illegally and retaining it on record without notifying the victims Union Jack has committed a series offence opening itself up to a fine of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual turnover.

If the Takeover Panel were not such complete bellends it would be demanding that the new Craig Howie led management at Union Jack send a letter to its poor shareholders stating why the new board think that the piss poor offer from Reabold (RBD) is such an awful one. But it seems that there has not even been an RNS. But maybe Union shareholders are not so dumb after all?

The David Bramhill gang was humiliated and trougher himself put in a no show. But 2 sets of lawyers left me with profound disquiet. Will Craig Howie grow a pair and stand up to them or is a cover up of past greed and crimes underway?

I have dropped trougher a note as a loyal shareholder in his company. As gold surges to $4500 and beyond Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) shares are only marginally ahead. I make a couple of helpful suggestions to address that point.

David “trougher” Bramhill and his cronies at Union Jack Oil (UJO) may think that I am a loyal supporter of Craig Howie, the man trying to oust them. Au contraire. Of course, I want Howie to win at the AGM and EGM on Monday where I shall be in attendance to hold Bramhill to account. However

It’s day 21 of the (crap) all paper offer for Union Jack Oil (UJO) from Reabold Resources (RBD) which means that the level of acceptances in must be announced and it is just 0.2% Despite the misleading video, misleading paid for research, misleading letter to shareholders, misleading words from the whore blogger just 0.2% have accepted. What a total fuck you.

Reabold Resources (RBD) may be reluctant to follow takeover panel rules without a kick from me so just in case, a Letter of Intent to reject its offer for Union Jack Oil (UJO), speaking for 4.05% of the equity, has arrived at Winnileaks and is reproduced below, with names redacted. It is dated tomorrow ( a business day) but was sent yesterday.

I support Mr. Howie in his attempts to oust the troughers of the David Bramhill gang at Union Jack Oil (UJO) but his advisors are embarrassing themselves being played for fools by Brammers. Today Union Jack accepts that Howie has legitimately called an EGM with his buddy John Americanos to change the board. But…

I sense that the Takeover Panel has been all over the rascals at Union Jack Oil (UJO) as things are disappearing as if this Bath based company has moved into the Bermuda Triangle.

The company in question is, of course, Union Jack Oil (UJO) run by trougher David Bramhill who broke the Companies Act 2006 to keep his job by adjourning the AGM last Friday. The recommended, albeit doomed to fail, offer by Reabold Resources (RBD) now begs the question of whether it is the Nomad SP Angel or the auditor Crowe LLP that has allowed dangerously misleading statements to be issued. I have written a letter to my good pals at the Financial Reporting Council and my not so good non pals, the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation, suggesting that they jointly establish which advisor has acted with a bent management team to mislead investors.

To secure a £220,000 ( pre-tax) payoff for himself, Companies Act 2006 breaking, trougher David Bramhill is recommending that shareholders in Union Jack Oil (UJO) accept an all paper offer from a company whose last accounts came with a material uncertainty warning. This is madness on stilts and if there were any independent NEDs at Union Jack ( there is now just one who is a paid poodle, Zac Philips) the bid would have been rejected at once. Reabold needs 75% of those voting to accept.

My man at the AGM says that trougher Harry Adams has just ‘fessed that 42% of votes cast were against the approval of the Annual Report. This is just massive.

I flagged up earlier today that Stifel is begging folks to vote for bad corporate governance at Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) where I am, of course, a loyal shareholder. It has prompted me to contact my broker, the dinosaur, and to vote myself.

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.

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:

I discuss the two reasons why I wish to see David Bramhill and his gang of troughers both ousted and humiliated at Union Jack Oil (UJO).

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.

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.

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?

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.

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..

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?

I shall not let aging trougher David Bramhill laugh at me for long. One good turn deserves another.

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?

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.

At 7 AM on Tuesday 30 September Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) served up interims, sugaring the bitter pill f more crap numbers showing no restraint on boardroom greed at all, by promising that the two banks for sign off on project funding for Tulu Kapi “within the coming week.” What do you think that means?

I have been pondering the outrageous response from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) to the outcry from many shareholders including myself about the vast bonuses and other perks awarded to Harry “trougher” Adams for another year of failure in 2024.

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.

As Richard Jennings at Align prepares to respond to the woeful EGM defence of Pathfinder Minerals (PFP) incumbents serial trougher Sir Henry Bellingham MP of 3DM infamy and Nick "Not for the many but for the" Trew, a new player has emerged.

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:

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.
