Making sure I have this resource for the historical record. 👀
Give me a fact or some facts that make me believe in McLennan completely!
The only way it would be confirmed 100% is if Paul decides to speak about it (which is very unlikely). But there is a lot of interesting things that, when added up, make a compelling case.

Same jumper? Were they sharing or did they have one each? In my mind this is George’s and Paul has borrowed it. ❤️

This is a lot of things. This is a thing, as David Lynch would say. What this also is, is fucking hot as fuck.
This is what they are talking about in that quote about Paul setting John on people he didn’t like and enjoying watching John eviscerate people.
This is leader of the gang level bullying and Paul was never in John’s gang. These two arrogant fucks knew they were special.
