The name is probably taken from Sandy (as in desert) and McManus from JP McManus the famous Irish Horse owner. Sandy must enjoy a flutter with Paddy Power (the bookies)

He has a passion for literature and is very well read. The vulgar racialist bigot is probably not on public display and is a persona he uses on some of his blogs. He is capable of rational and articulate argument and his real life persona is probably completely different to his on-line persona.
He has ambitions to being a freelance journalist, whether on-line or in print and is capable of writing articulately and intelligently. The Sandy McManus persona that we know of on-line is probably a fictional character that he has invented.
The easiest way is to find an English teacher with a wife from Kazaksthan having lived in the United Arab Emirates for many years and you will have almost certainly found Sandy McManus.
Any information leading to a positive ID would be welcome. He has libelled with impunity, using many different aliases many people over the years and we want him to stop.
If the death threats posted on this blog are genuine it is important that he be located urgently.
