Yea but the question is publicity for whom… was it encouraged by others for a cause, just a daft plan to promote himself, or for a combination of both?

I’m inclined to think elements of both in all honesty. I think his motivation was self-promotion but I think the idea was ultimately someone else’s. It doesn’t seem realistic that he came up with the whole scheme himself and then did such a bodged job of carrying it out.
