I'd rather imagine him losing his position, job, fortune, home and applying for benefits
If that's ok?

He's probably a social worker.
And go easy on him. This Carl Beech story must have been be such a bitter disappointment to him.

Just when you think he can't be more of a prick
He manages to somehow amaze the world with his utter prickishness.

Smells like fake news
If he actually personally said people should use imperial, I'd like to know about it. But I'm guessing this is a rather made-up story... like, he happens to work at a place that issued it.
I spent 5 mins fact-checking, and discovered "The guidance was drawn up by Mr Rees-Mogg's North East Somerset constituency team some years ago." [Evening Standard] ...
So, I'm a bit skeptical.

"The guidance, obtained by ITV news, was drawn up by the North East Somerset MP’s constituency team years ago, but has now been shared with officials in his new office."

They could train a machine learning system on his letters
so no correspondence will deviate from his personal style. Of course you'll still need the staff to type the output on typewriters.

Someone has checked Hansard
broken his own rules thousands of times. I fully agree with most his banned words. But imperial? No one in this country has been taught it since the late 60s and its fucking stupid. Double space, pffft. And there's nothing wrong with the Oxford comma.

He doesn't write Hansard.
But imperial? Only in distances greater than 'not far', beer in glasses, people's heights, but certainly not in weights, except people's weights, etc.

Double space is a holdover from typewriters and unnecessary in any system that doesn't use monospaced characters ... like pretty much everything nowadays

The Oxford comma comes before and not after it

Control freak behaviour, the more unreasonable the better.
Next, the staff will have to put their chairs up on tables for the cleaners. If they want to use the lavatory, they'll have to put their hands up, etc. He hasn't really left school.
I'd like to see what imperial computer he uses.
