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.
What you find an archive! A “Schoolboy Financier” 13yr old Jacob Rees-Mogg photographed @bankofengland, 1983. Also a stunning @EveningStandard newspaper cutting showing the debt collecting letter sent by #JacobReesMogg to the @BBCr4today programme in 1981. #monocle #JRM #Brexit pic.twitter.com/a2FzkyUQAD

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 …
His mum must've moved the bowl when she was cutting his fringe!

He hasn’t improved with age, but his crazy admirers will lap it up. Dangeroud and unpleasant man.
