Declaration of financial interests

I do not allow my financial interests to influence my comments or opinions expressed on this site. Similarly, whether or not I like a brewery's beers is not a consideration when making investments. I do however believe, unlike certain Tory (and indeed Labour) MPs, that I should be completely open and honest about my financial interests in the industry on which I am commenting.

I currently have no financial interests in the brewing and pub industry, though this situation may change in the future and if it does it will be reflected here. I have in recent times had shareholdings in Fuller, Smith & Turner brewery and JD Wetherspoon, along with membership of the Camra members' investment club.
