Handforth Parish Council featuring Jackie Weaver

[Yogarow]

I'm John Smith. Bloody right I am.

John Smith is my cousins dad!

And that poor woman who had the audacity to be from Birkenhead. How dare she!

Hahahaha omg I loved her! Saying no to every suggestion or idea but offering no concrete ideas herself we all know a Cyn

 

[under the ivy]

This has cheered me up no end today

I've only just caught up on all this, what a treat! I love how Jackie seems to be so tech/social media-savvy. I had the 'pleasure' of working with local councillors when I worked in Electoral Services and Chief Execs at a regional council. This video is an entirely accurate representation of what these people are like...the men in particular! It is such a misogynistic, nepotistic environment to work in and they have such high opinions of themselves. It really wound me up how they were allowed to change party as often as the wind changes direction too. When the Lib Dems were having their heyday, they were all LibDem, then they all became Independent when LD crashed and burned. Then some changed to Labour, some to UKIP and now they're all independent again. It was so cringe.

I got Roger Small... Knows how to make an entrance and only speaks when there's something important to say. There should be more people like Roger (or words to that effect!) That's about right actually, I never speak in meetings, I'm usually the one sitting there doodling on my notes

 

[IndominusRex]

I'm so glad there's a thread for this! It's fantastic! Could someone who understands the workings of parish councils more explain why Jackie Weaver was there? I got the impression she was an external facilitator type brought in to stop the other 2 being dodgy.

I haven't seen the entire meeting just the highlights video above, but here's a little bit of background from The Guardian:

"The extraordinary outbursts followed a series of complaints about the conduct of some councillors in the village and allegations of unlawful decisions which have resulted in expenditure of public funds, according to a notice posted on the council’s website by David Brown, director of governance and compliance at Cheshire district council."

I am so using "Please refer to me as Britney Spears from now on."

I’m always so bloody late to the party, but can I say, god bless Jackie Weaver!! I haven’t laughed this much for a long time!! It was Alex’s I pad that did it for me, the “I’m taking over now” and the Gollum sounds, and did he really say “Here comes the subpoena!!”?? Absolutely brilliant!!

I hope Jackie Weaver gets her spot on Strictly this year, the poor woman deserves it!! And, did anyone identify who “Julie’s IPad”?yet?? I did hear that Cyn, Jackie Weaver, Sue, and Julie are pitching for a guest spot on Loose Women!!

 

[FridaK]

I’m Jackie. Tbf I would of definitely kicked out that trio. I’ve just been thinking, I bet they were former Brexit Party members or UKIP. That Brian has a Union Jack duvet doesn’t he?

 

[bookworm1403]

All we keep saying to each other at home is "you have no authority here", amuses us no end

Told my dad (whose meme culture is admittedly lacking) that he had no authority to switch the TV channel whilst we watched something. Didn't get it, reacted in Aled's iPad fashion.
My amusement is at a peak I swear

 

[BigMavis]

Yes, yes, yes, what was the gollum impression about? I can't make it out. Also "subpoena"

 

[under the ivy]

Anyone else want to be councillor now and attend local council meetings? Just me?

 

[IrishName]

The weird thing is, most of their videos seem to be like this - it wasn’t just this one descending into lockdown anarchy!

I got Jackie

Quiz: Ok, so which member of the Handforth Parish Council are you really?

I'm Julie's iPad

"We're trying to have a teams meeting you fool"
Is this what Gollum says?

 

[Tublet83]

God I can imagine it’s terrible!

They really are and quite intimidating! Jackie properly held her nerve though, I was impressed.

That guy with Aled screaming he was the vice chairman.. was he even invited? Sounded like some horror film demon

You just have to laugh for me doesn’t matter what party they are from they are all collectively dickheads, and generally really thick

 

[bookworm1403]

If anyone's bored in lockdown, watch the prequel. It's even more chaotic

 

[Switchstreetz]

Is Aled actually some kind of 2 headed beast? Or does he take his dad with him to every meeting?!

Edit: the reality is even scarier. Apparently he's a solicitor...

 

[Vulnavia]

That Tolver guy is such a prick.

 

[Intoxicating]

She’s back at it

 

[supernintendochalmers]

Aled's iPad sounded like Reece Shearsmith.
