Poor sad, delusional Sandy. He seems to be getting a lot of mileage out of his Greta Garboish 'I want to be alone' stance.

If he truly wanted to be left alone he should have:

a) walked out of the back door, not done his acrobatic Great Escape climb over the roof. He did that because he KNEW it would get column inches in the national press.

b) not made any comments to the media - under any circumstances. He must know - he's an intelligent man - that continually feeding the press with quotes is just perpetuating the story.

c) perhaps not have gone into such a high profile environment, with all the attendant publicity, if he thought he could just fade away when his time was over.

I think Sandy is secretly revelling in the stance he has taken - he can say he's not courting publicity, whilst at the same time knowing he's going to be in the papers. Cool tactics on his part methinks!!
