“There are rumours being widely circulated about candidates getting involved in bondage, domination and sadomasochism, claims of inappropriate relationships and compromising explicit photographs that could be used as kompromat,” a senior Tory Party source told the paper.“
Buy stocks in diesel generator manufacturers, Middle East and US O&G companies. Sell stocks in EU heavy industry.
Be thankful the UK is no longer in the EU.
Avoiding anything EU this winter and beyond is the sensible way. I'll be very surprised if there isnt pretty extensive civil unrest in the EU
I really hope that they are starting to prepare now for winter, and that someone will make it clear to Sholz that Putin is going to be playing games with the gas supply, simply because he can.
The best way to avoid this, is to arm Ukraine to the teeth and see Putin get a military defeat over the summer.
We have now an example of MMT and how it does not work in the real world.
?
MMT economists have never said that government spending can’t cause inflation. On the contrary, their models seem to be fairly explicit that government spending will cause inflaction in a fairly well defined set of circumstances.
Anyone that claims that MMT justifies endless government spending is confused.

Which raises the question: does she not care? Took me 2 mins to google that
Is she trolling?
On the upside, looks like we’re about to have our first kinkster prime minister (I am discounting the lurid rumours about Pitt the Younger)
Maybe she's been trolled, if she'd been given it as a gift and hadn't looked to see where it was bought from.
No, she knows exactly what it means. Her dress also had bondage motifs - overt, egregious lacing on the sides
She’s a kinkster
Does anyone care? It's not even exotic now every woman in the land has read 50 Shades. The last guy (who may or may not have resigned) has a history of screwing the hired help so Liz will be the second prime minister in a row who likes sex.
Did Theresa May not enjoy sex? This will come as a crushing bow to the ego of Phillip May.
I understand sex is a very popular hobby and has been for some time. End of story for a political betting website.

Truss is heading for victory. She is going to be the next UK PM. She’s got past the solitary debate without harm, so what’s left? A few hustings?
Realistically, the one thing that could derail her campaign now is a scandal. Now what form might such a scandal take? There were rumours in the Times - yes, the Times - that one of the leadership candidates “likes BDSM”. Thanks to my genius insight, PB now knows who this is, very probably
Two things generally cause scandals: sex and money. Sunak was nearly derailed by a money scandal. Truss?
All this has serious betting implications, as well as consequences for the nation, and the idea we should ignore it because a bunch of incels on PB get upset is frankly absurd
I'm not sure "likes BDSM" is even really much of a scandal any more, is it?
It might be enough to derail a candidate with the Tory membership? I genuinely dunno. We need the expert insight of @HYUFD!
Also see my quote from the Indy. Allegedly there is kompromat. Photos
Genuine question, if Truss reverses the BoJo economic policies, isn't that the elderly care plan dumped?
What 'elderly care plan'? There never was one. It was just Boris doing his usual trick of announcing that he's solved a problem without actually doing anything at all.
The NI increases were a semi-hypothecated tax that would go towards plugging the gap on healthcare spending. If you get rid of them , and assuming spending on a now collapsed healthcare system won't be reduced, you are simply adding to a black hole instead.
There's no such thing as semi-hypothecated taxes.
It was a tax. That is all. Calling it a health levy was just lipstick on a pig.
FFS! Finally got through to HMRC after waiting 40 mins on hold, regarding the IHT payable my late mum's estate.
They've lost the (seven separate) forms I had to send in, even though they phoned me to query details in them two weeks ago. Can I please complete them again and re-send, recorded delivery.
Oh, and by the way, please guess how much IHT is due and make sure I guess right and pay it by the end of this month, else they'll be charging the estate interest.
Sorry, appreciate that is off-topic but I feel better now.

What job do we think Rishi might do in Truss' cabinet. I think remaining as Chancellor is right out, they're too fiscally different and Simon Clark is getting that. Perhaps health ? He's got links there with his parents after all.

Nah, from the stories I heard from my local Young Conservatives, oh and the Tennis club, back in the day (and I grew up in dualling banjo land, 15 miles from you) they won't bat an eyelid. A very enlightened and open minded selectorate, of that I have no doubt . Ooh er Missus!
I do my commenting backstage these days so I can hold all the convos in one place so forgive this rare irruption to below-the-line. However I do need to point out the following:

Anyhoo, I am working on two sequels: one highlighting the importance of the Intermarium (the lands between the Black, Agean and Baltic Seas) that form the defacto border between Germany and Russia, and another entitled "The 2022 Russian Invasion of Britain", which illustrates the Russo-Ukranian War by setting it in Britain (so NI is Crimea and various English ports stand for Kherson, Kharkiv, Mariopol etc) and so gives you an the scale of the invasion.

From the estate presumably?
I know someone who was an executor for someone who had died owing reasonable amounts to various utilities and council tax etc. There was no money in the estate and so as far as I know the debt was never paid.
Buy stocks in diesel generator manufacturers, Middle East and US O&G companies. Sell stocks in EU heavy industry.
Be thankful the UK is no longer in the EU.
Avoiding anything EU this winter and beyond is the sensible way. I'll be very surprised if there isnt pretty extensive civil unrest in the EU
That's a pretty strong prediction. Bookmarked.
I wonder what's happened to other predictions I previously bookmarked?
Well there is the possibility i will be wrong and spend winter in a state of surprise. All wide eyed for Christmas. If we are bookmarking then my prediction is for yellow vest level of unrest in multiple countries of the EU over winter and early spring 2022 to 23
I promise a suitable level of contrition depending on how wrong i am
Marjorie Taylor Greene's opponent (Marcus Flowers) has raised millions of dollars for a contest he has precisely zero chance of winning. Every single one of those dollars would be better spent on pretty much every other race in the country.
Greene is seriously popular in her district, trying to unseat her is like the Republicans trying to unseat AOC.
More worrying, is Democrat donors interfering in Republican House primaries, supporting the furthest right candidate in the hope of them losing to the Dem in November. That could backfire on them quite spectacularly.

It isn't. And before anyone starts shrieking about "slut shaming" I know that I don't care who she is doing or how she is doing them. Frankly if she is a fetlifer I'm more impressed than I otherwise would have been. I assume @leon is of a similar mindset.
But - and its a big but - supposedly there are scandal materials being held back to "bring down the government". Liz doing Ms Whiplash on colleagues is their business. Until the the proof of live video gets used as blackmail by hostile powers. Which is what I assume the Finland (and onwards to Russia) angle relates to...

I think there's a reasonable argument 1. That there is no Liz bomb because if there were it would have made sense to detonate it before we got down to 2 candidates (creating uncertainty about who dunnit) and 2. If detonated now, provided it is about legal acts between consenting adults, it would backfire very badly on the obvious suspect.

All this has serious betting implications, as well as consequences for the nation, and the idea we should ignore it because a bunch of incels on PB get upset is frankly absurd
I'm not sure "likes BDSM" is even really much of a scandal any more, is it?
No, but I also don’t think “liking BDSM” is the sex scandal that one camp might be worried about.
It isn't. And before anyone starts shrieking about "slut shaming" I know that I don't care who she is doing or how she is doing them. Frankly if she is a fetlifer I'm more impressed than I otherwise would have been. I assume @leon is of a similar mindset.
But - and its a big but - supposedly there are scandal materials being held back to "bring down the government". Liz doing Ms Whiplash on colleagues is their business. Until the the proof of live video gets used as blackmail by hostile powers. Which is what I assume the Finland (and onwards to Russia) angle relates to...
Yes we are of like mind
What people do in the bedroom should NOT matter but it does
1 because humans are insatiably in love with sexual gossip (for Darwinian reasons) and many are still deeply judgmental
2 and because that opens politicians up to blackmail
It comes after Conservative peer and former party treasurer Lord Cruddas claimed yesterday that Johnson "does not want to resign" and "wished that he could carry on" as prime minister.
Cruddas said the comments were made to him by the prime minister over lunch at Chequers on Friday, but in response a No 10 spokeswoman said that Johnson has resigned as party leader and "set out his intention to stand down as PM when the new leader is in place".
Marjorie Taylor Greene's opponent (Marcus Flowers) has raised millions of dollars for a contest he has precisely zero chance of winning. Every single one of those dollars would be better spent on pretty much every other race in the country.
Greene is seriously popular in her district, trying to unseat her is like the Republicans trying to unseat AOC.
More worrying, is Democrat donors interfering in Republican House primaries, supporting the furthest right candidate in the hope of them losing to the Dem in November. That could backfire on them quite spectacularly.
Flowers has raised over $10million (as of last month). It is an amazing grift by him and his "political consultants" but that's 10 million that could have gone to state house races in the Rust Belt where the Dems really, really, really need to swing statehouses in their favour to avoid shenanigans in 2024.

On the upside, looks like we’re about to have our first kinkster prime minister (I am discounting the lurid rumours about Pitt the Younger)
Maybe she's been trolled, if she'd been given it as a gift and hadn't looked to see where it was bought from.
No, she knows exactly what it means. Her dress also had bondage motifs - overt, egregious lacing on the sides
She’s a kinkster
Does anyone care? It's not even exotic now every woman in the land has read 50 Shades. The last guy (who may or may not have resigned) has a history of screwing the hired help so Liz will be the second prime minister in a row who likes sex.
Did Theresa May not enjoy sex? This will come as a crushing bow to the ego of Phillip May.

FFS! Finally got through to HMRC after waiting 40 mins on hold, regarding the IHT payable my late mum's estate.
They've lost the (seven separate) forms I had to send in, even though they phoned me to query details in them two weeks ago. Can I please complete them again and re-send, recorded delivery.
Oh, and by the way, please guess how much IHT is due and make sure I guess right and pay it by the end of this month, else they'll be charging the estate interest.
Sorry, appreciate that is off-topic but I feel better now.
Sympathies. And RIP your mum
I actually have a related query. A relative of mine has died with a large outstanding phone bill
What happens to these things if people die? Is someone else liable?
I am not a lawyer but aiui the estate of the deceased is liable, no-one else. If the estate had no funds the phone co will have to suck it up. ..unless someone knows better .....
True, unless someone has acted as guarantor on the account (unlikely).

The winner needs to primarily energise the base and convince tory leaners to turn out. Convincing labour to switch comes second. Electorally, i think they do better with Truss, they simply have to reengage the 1/3 of 2019 that have drifted away to no vote/unsure etc

Avoiding anything EU this winter and beyond is the sensible way. I'll be very surprised if there isnt pretty extensive civil unrest in the EU
That's a pretty strong prediction. Bookmarked.
I wonder what's happened to other predictions I previously bookmarked?
Well there is the possibility i will be wrong and spend winter in a state of surprise. All wide eyed for Christmas. If we are bookmarking then my prediction is for yellow vest level of unrest in multiple countries of the EU over winter and early spring 2022 to 23

We have now an example of MMT and how it does not work in the real world.
?
MMT economists have never said that government spending can’t cause inflation. On the contrary, their models seem to be fairly explicit that government spending will cause inflaction in a fairly well defined set of circumstances.
Anyone that claims that MMT justifies endless government spending is confused.
Hold on is this Magic Money Tree or Modern Monetary Theory ?

Two things generally cause scandals: sex and money. Sunak was nearly derailed by a money scandal. Truss?
All this has serious betting implications, as well as consequences for the nation, and the idea we should ignore it because a bunch of incels on PB get upset is frankly absurd
I'm not sure "likes BDSM" is even really much of a scandal any more, is it?
No, but I also don’t think “liking BDSM” is the sex scandal that one camp might be worried about.
Ooooh
I think there's a reasonable argument 1. That there is no Liz bomb because if there were it would have made sense to detonate it before we got down to 2 candidates (creating uncertainty about who dunnit) and 2. If detonated now, provided it is about legal acts between consenting adults, it would backfire very badly on the obvious suspect.
(2) If there was something about legal acts between consenting adults for either candidate, I agree that would probably not have much impact. However, recent Westminster scandals have concerned cases where there was not consent. Inappropriate sexual relationships under the shadow of unequal power relationships seem worryingly common. That sort of scandal would have more impact.
(1) By now, surely we know that scandals can be slow to emerge. The recent reports concerning Johnson and an inappropriate relationship with a junior who he tried to get a job at City Hall would have been much more devastating at almost any time earlier, but they only came out when he was already on his way out.
Were a scandal to emerge, I don’t see that the other candidate would necessarily be, or be perceived to be, guilty. If someone comes forward saying, “I didn’t want to say anything, but now it is apparent that X might become Prime Minister, so I felt I had to let people know,” then that wouldn’t have to have anything to do with the other candidate’s campaign.

On the upside, looks like we’re about to have our first kinkster prime minister (I am discounting the lurid rumours about Pitt the Younger)
Maybe she's been trolled, if she'd been given it as a gift and hadn't looked to see where it was bought from.
No, she knows exactly what it means. Her dress also had bondage motifs - overt, egregious lacing on the sides
She’s a kinkster
Does anyone care? It's not even exotic now every woman in the land has read 50 Shades. The last guy (who may or may not have resigned) has a history of screwing the hired help so Liz will be the second prime minister in a row who likes sex.
Did Theresa May not enjoy sex? This will come as a crushing bow to the ego of Phillip May.
I understand sex is a very popular hobby and has been for some time. End of story for a political betting website.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong. It should be "...a bunch of incels on PB *gets* upset...."
The winner needs to primarily energise the base and convince tory leaners to turn out. Convincing labour to switch comes second. Electorally, i think they do better with Truss, they simply have to reengage the 1/3 of 2019 that have drifted away to no vote/unsure etc
Depends how many of those current Labour voters backing Sunak voted Tory in 2019

It might be enough to derail a candidate with the Tory membership? I genuinely dunno. We need the expert insight of @HYUFD!
Also see my quote from the Indy. Allegedly there is kompromat. Photos
That WOULD be dangerous for any candidate
As long as she was not doing anything illegal or doing BDSM with someone other than her husband while married I doubt any such photos if they existed would damage her too much
Is this really the same poster who wouldnt hear a bad word said about Boris?
Given MPs removed Boris for his improper behaviour, members will be looking for someone a bit more straight laced now Brexit is done and Corbyn beaten which Boris was leader to achieve
Marjorie Taylor Greene's opponent (Marcus Flowers) has raised millions of dollars for a contest he has precisely zero chance of winning. Every single one of those dollars would be better spent on pretty much every other race in the country.
Greene is seriously popular in her district, trying to unseat her is like the Republicans trying to unseat AOC.
More worrying, is Democrat donors interfering in Republican House primaries, supporting the furthest right candidate in the hope of them losing to the Dem in November. That could backfire on them quite spectacularly.
Flowers has raised over $10million (as of last month). It is an amazing grift by him and his "political consultants" but that's 10 million that could have gone to state house races in the Rust Belt where the Dems really, really, really need to swing statehouses in their favour to avoid shenanigans in 2024.
That sort of thing makes no sense at all. Yes, we get that the Dems really don’t like MTG, but she’s in a 75-25 district and has no chance of being defeated.
The vast majority of their money needs to go into their own held marginals, because the swing is always against the party of the President in the mid-terms, and doubly so when there’s a recession negative growth in the economy.

Spain was similarly dick-ish about ex-pats living there in terms of the level they set for basic income required to gain permission to stay.
In comparison, Portugal made everything as simple and easy as possible and more than happy to have ex-pats who used to live in Spain. Basically if you lived there prior to Brexit and you have income a tad more than minimum wage, it was couple of forms and job done.

Depends how many of those current Labour voters backing Sunak voted Tory in 2019
Not really. There has been low levels of switch found in polling and high levels of moving to unsure/not voting. Maximising votes from the latter group should be the primary aim, rather than the slight advantage amongst the much smaller group of direct switchers that sunak has (its not an absolute advantage, he might attract back switchers at 1.5 to 1 based on the YouGov poll)

Similar laws exist in pretty much every developed country anyway. It is just a bit of British exceptionalism to assume that we should be exempt from them in Spain.
Its worth pointing out the Spanish requirements are a "may be required to" and can include credit card limit.....
I imagine in reality it will really used in a similar manner to nightclub bouncers not liking the look of somebody and pulling out their dress code which they are use to deny entry, rather than a family of 4 having a week on the Costa del Sol.
What job do we think Rishi might do in Truss' cabinet. I think remaining as Chancellor is right out, they're too fiscally different and Simon Clark is getting that. Perhaps health ? He's got links there with his parents after all.
He won't and will step down at the next election imo
Agreed. The only thing I could possibly see is a job like Leader of the House which is procedural rather than policy-driven, but I don’t think it will suit his ego to take it.

On the upside, looks like we’re about to have our first kinkster prime minister (I am discounting the lurid rumours about Pitt the Younger)
Maybe she's been trolled, if she'd been given it as a gift and hadn't looked to see where it was bought from.
No, she knows exactly what it means. Her dress also had bondage motifs - overt, egregious lacing on the sides
She’s a kinkster
Does anyone care? It's not even exotic now every woman in the land has read 50 Shades. The last guy (who may or may not have resigned) has a history of screwing the hired help so Liz will be the second prime minister in a row who likes sex.
Did Theresa May not enjoy sex? This will come as a crushing bow to the ego of Phillip May.
I understand sex is a very popular hobby and has been for some time. End of story for a political betting website.
The juvenile masturbators parading themselves on this thread should probably go to a different website and leave us be. I understand a range of such sites are available to suit every taste.
lol. And also: wrong
Truss is heading for victory. She is going to be the next UK PM. She’s got past the solitary debate without harm, so what’s left? A few hustings?
Realistically, the one thing that could derail her campaign now is a scandal. Now what form might such a scandal take? There were rumours in the Times - yes, the Times - that one of the leadership candidates “likes BDSM”. Thanks to my genius insight, PB now knows who this is, very probably
Two things generally cause scandals: sex and money. Sunak was nearly derailed by a money scandal. Truss?
All this has serious betting implications, as well as consequences for the nation, and the idea we should ignore it because a bunch of incels on PB get upset is frankly absurd
I'm not sure "likes BDSM" is even really much of a scandal any more, is it?
It might be enough to derail a candidate with the Tory membership? I genuinely dunno. We need the expert insight of @HYUFD!
Also see my quote from the Indy. Allegedly there is kompromat. Photos
That WOULD be dangerous for any candidate
As long as she was not doing anything illegal or doing BDSM with someone other than her husband while married I doubt any such photos if they existed would damage her too much
Is this really the same poster who wouldnt hear a bad word said about Boris?
Given MPs removed Boris for his improper behaviour, members will be looking for someone a bit more straight laced now Brexit is done and Corbyn beaten which Boris was leader to achieve
A bit more straight laced is easily achieved, and delivered by both candidates. But nothing illegal and no affair in their lifetime is decent odds against for a top politician.
Other than his lockdown fine, which in itself was more a political statement than a legal one, I doubt Sunak has ever done anything illegal or had an affair. He is also teetotal
The Mail reports that Spain is going to insist on British tourists being able to show they have £85 a day available. Not sure it's a good idea from the Spanish point of view.
I can't remember the last time I spent as much as £85 in a single day on any holiday, excluding hotels and travel but even that was nearly always pre-booked. £85 average seems insane to the point that surely there must be some kind of misunderstanding somewhere.
Comments
“There are rumours being widely circulated about candidates getting involved in bondage, domination and sadomasochism, claims of inappropriate relationships and compromising explicit photographs that could be used as kompromat,” a senior Tory Party source told the paper.“

The best way to avoid this, is to arm Ukraine to the teeth and see Putin get a military defeat over the summer.
MMT economists have never said that government spending can’t cause inflation. On the contrary, their models seem to be fairly explicit that government spending will cause inflaction in a fairly well defined set of circumstances.
Anyone that claims that MMT justifies endless government spending is confused.

It was a tax. That is all. Calling it a health levy was just lipstick on a pig.
They've lost the (seven separate) forms I had to send in, even though they phoned me to query details in them two weeks ago. Can I please complete them again and re-send, recorded delivery.
Oh, and by the way, please guess how much IHT is due and make sure I guess right and pay it by the end of this month, else they'll be charging the estate interest.
Sorry, appreciate that is off-topic but I feel better now.
I'm not arguing from a maiden aunt perspective. It's just tedious, irrelevant, and the incredibly creepy way you do it gives every impression that you're typing one handed.
I actually have a related query. A relative of mine has died with a large outstanding phone bill
What happens to these things if people die? Is someone else liable?
Probate wont be granted until debts settled
You must live in a world where sex never causes scandals? Given that Boris finally resigned because of a sex scandal I suggest that it is you who is wanking away in a parallel universe. Tediously
Marjorie Taylor Greene's opponent (Marcus Flowers) has raised millions of dollars for a contest he has precisely zero chance of winning. Every single one of those dollars would be better spent on pretty much every other race in the country.
I wonder what's happened to other predictions I previously bookmarked?
PB never fails
1: I detailed this very point in my recent article https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2022/05/02/why-ukraine-was-particularly-vulnerable/
2: I held a brief Q&A session on May 3rd which some people attended (and to which you were invited). In that session I discussed a word document expanding on the points, which included that very map.
Perhaps if I had tweeted it people would have noticed...
Anyhoo, I am working on two sequels: one highlighting the importance of the Intermarium (the lands between the Black, Agean and Baltic Seas) that form the defacto border between Germany and Russia, and another entitled "The 2022 Russian Invasion of Britain", which illustrates the Russo-Ukranian War by setting it in Britain (so NI is Crimea and various English ports stand for Kherson, Kharkiv, Mariopol etc) and so gives you an the scale of the invasion. I'm busy with the RSS Conference so it won't be until September at the earliest
I know someone who was an executor for someone who had died owing reasonable amounts to various utilities and council tax etc. There was no money in the estate and so as far as I know the debt was never paid.
All wide eyed for Christmas.
If we are bookmarking then my prediction is for yellow vest level of unrest in multiple countries of the EU over winter and early spring 2022 to 23
I promise a suitable level of contrition depending on how wrong i am
More worrying, is Democrat donors interfering in Republican House primaries, supporting the furthest right candidate in the hope of them losing to the Dem in November. That could backfire on them quite spectacularly.

How it turned out eleven days later. Take that weather forecasting sceptics!

Don’t recall the Q&A
I wish you could come back and comment again. Can’t you just use a new pseudonym? AIUI some people do this
But - and its a big but - supposedly there are scandal materials being held back to "bring down the government". Liz doing Ms Whiplash on colleagues is their business. Until the the proof of live video gets used as blackmail by hostile powers. Which is what I assume the Finland (and onwards to Russia) angle relates to...
I think there's a reasonable argument 1. That there is no Liz bomb because if there were it would have made sense to detonate it before we got down to 2 candidates (creating uncertainty about who dunnit) and 2. If detonated now, provided it is about legal acts between consenting adults, it would backfire very badly on the obvious suspect.
What people do in the bedroom should NOT matter but it does
1 because humans are insatiably in love with sexual gossip (for Darwinian reasons) and many are still deeply judgmental
2 and because that opens politicians up to blackmail
I also wondered about the Finland thing

Probably NSFW.
Its the baby angle that entertains me...

Would a revelation that one of the candidates is into BDSM affect the vote? Sincere question. I have no clue how relaxed Tories are these days
If it wouldn’t affect the vote, what would?
Buttigieg I still think could replace Biden as Democrat nominee in 2024
Electorally, i think they do better with Truss, they simply have to reengage the 1/3 of 2019 that have drifted away to no vote/unsure etc
They are the same thing, aren't they ?
Lee Hurst must be absolutely sobbing.
(1) By now, surely we know that scandals can be slow to emerge. The recent reports concerning Johnson and an inappropriate relationship with a junior who he tried to get a job at City Hall would have been much more devastating at almost any time earlier, but they only came out when he was already on his way out.
Were a scandal to emerge, I don’t see that the other candidate would necessarily be, or be perceived to be, guilty. If someone comes forward saying, “I didn’t want to say anything, but now it is apparent that X might become Prime Minister, so I felt I had to let people know,” then that wouldn’t have to have anything to do with the other candidate’s campaign.
And now here we are with #StarmerOut trending.
I am a sage.
Lets hope that tomorrow I wake up with the knowledge of which MPs were the adult babies.
The vast majority of their money needs to go into their own held marginals, because the swing is always against the party of the President in the mid-terms, and doubly so when there’s a recession negative growth in the economy.

But she isn't. So she does. Good for her!
For a family of five for a fortnight, that's pretty pricey.
So what is the verdict on nad's necklace here?
In comparison, Portugal made everything as simple and easy as possible and more than happy to have ex-pats who used to live in Spain. Basically if you lived there prior to Brexit and you have income a tad more than minimum wage, it was couple of forms and job done.
Not a lot else does mind.
However, isn't Nad meant to be quite racy?
I imagine in reality it will really used in a similar manner to nightclub bouncers not liking the look of somebody and pulling out their dress code which they are use to deny entry, rather than a family of 4 having a week on the Costa del Sol.
You and I know this world. We know what this says
Now, is this prurient and sordid speculation which demeans PB?
Yes
Does it matter?
Also yes
