    I agree. The UK is usually pretty robust about name suppression. Maybe he wasn’t powerful enough.

    The earlier story linked makes him sound vulnerable:

    Hunt also told the court on the two nights he had been seen on the side of the road he had wanted to kill himself by being hit by a car.

    “It never entered my head that what I was doing was frightening people,” he said.

    “I apologise to those people - I agree what I was doing was frightening but hand on my heart I never intended to cause them harassment, alarm or distress.”
