This Jacob Rees-Mogg story from 1981 is everything you’d imagine and worse

Someone’s found this Jacob Rees-Mogg story from 1981 and it turns out the 13-year-old future Brexiteer is everything you’d imagine he was. And more.

And in case that’s a bit tricky to read …

After giving an interview to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme in September and demanding a fee of £18 for doing it the young Rees-Mogg took it upon himself to fire off a stern warning to the programme when payment didn’t arrive thereafter.

‘Dear Today programme. You are in a debt of £18 which was payable as from 13/9/81. I have no idea what your excuse is but I will not accept it. If it is not recived [sic] by the 10/11/81, which is nearly two months, I shall increase it to £36.

‘If still not recived [sic] within 10 days I shall take legal advice. I hope it does not come to that for I have no desire to prosecute the BBC.’

The Today programme stuck his letter on a pinboard and paid up, according to the Standard’s story.

It’s not on to take the piss out of a 13-year-old’s haircut, but in this case …

Two views to everything, of course.

We’re just glad he recived the money in the end.
