Disclosure Policy

"Pa," young Jasper said to me last night, "have you thought how your distinctive voice might be influencing people?"

At first, I thought his question was one of those idiotic remarks he has been wont to come out with since reaching puberty. I've never been a man who is afraid to influence people. My reflections on life, the world and Oldham Athletic have always been designed to make people think.

"No, Pa!" he went on. "What I mean is you need to be upfront with people - let them know when you are being paid or sponsored for your views."

Then, he pointed me in the direction of Disclosure Policy, where I was able to generate my very own, personalised policy. And here it is:

This policy is valid from 20 May 2007
