Mrs Cameron's diary: how weird is Jeremy Hunt?

So I twote Dave going basically how weird is Jeremy Hunt? I mean I know we must respect his strongly held beliefs & everyone is free to voice their opinion but tbh this is the first time anyone has asked if I will be menstruating during conference? I mean not Hunty personally, obvs, it is Maria Miller's brief to keep an eye on PMT and sanitary protection because Hunty feels so deeply that women in a debilitating condition should not go outside? Plus no offence but he would prefer not to shake their hand, apparently it is in the Bible but actually totally scientifically based? As in male homeopaths will not even treat women during their time of the month in case they spontaneously combust, I'm like who knew, wait till I tell Theresa how she kept her job, lolz.

Well no reply from Dave so I give Maria the all-clear & go so is there anything else I can help you with and she is like no offence but in fact would you mind covering your tattoo and not wearing anything come-hither, Hunty says he would hate to see anyone accidentally taken away to one of his new ladies' asylums? And none of your ROFLs please, hysteria can be fatal, or tight garments, in case of fainting? I'm like, fine, so I was thinking maybe something from Whistles?

And Maria goes, as a very modern feminist Samantha I'm thinking something a little more understated yet sassy, if only those Boden skirts were not so short! How about "rocking" some feminist slacks, you know, something you might wear to kill a burglar, or a feminist skirt suit, there are some lovely feminist items in Hobbs? I'm like, excuse me Miller while I call Grace Coddington and tell her she is out of a fucking job? I mean I should not even BE there this weekend when there is Glasto booking going down & do not even think of asking Danny?

So I tweet Dave going, am wearing JEANS, OK, live with it? We've been here three days when he tweets back, whatevs Babes *excited face* hv u hrd of lolcats haha up to 150,031 followers now #watchoutBoris!!!

I'm like, oh marv, all this AND Angry Birds Star Wars :(
