oh that cheery amazon sense of viral humour
Oh is it a joke? I thought it was just providing a legal opinion
I made a joke about Animal Kingdom up thread which went completely unremarked.

And does she?
I would certainly be writing a very strongly worded letter to Amazon if they started claiming that Jackie Weaver has authority in my home.
“As long as there is reasonable behaviour, she has authority here”

What’s his dad doing there? Are they both councillors? Is it some kind of disciplinary thing? Either would be equally amusing

His best one is probably the 'zip up your mickey' Twink one. I had it stuck in my head at the shops. People are imploring him to do the Blackrock College promo vid horror.

Watch one of the music YouTube remix videos. They’re only a couple of minutes long and contain the catchphrases that have gone viral.

I first heard of this yesterday when I was listening to Novara media.
They found it most amusing.
I saw the clips and was no plussed about it,
Ive had long involvement in community groups over the years ( depending on my limited time ) and these kinds of rows/ disagreements aren't uncommon.
This might be extreme example but I was more upset that due to pandemic and zoom meetings this row got all over the internet.
In the normal state of affairs the meeting would have been face to face and not on internet.
Lesson be very wary of Zoom/Team meetings.
To be frank community politics/ involvement in local community groups is a mix between groups who work well and those that are dysfunctional.
Some implode and fall by the wayside. Others end up being run by tin pot dictators. The last third everyone gets on and everyone works well with each other.
This is rough summary of how local community organisations work in practise.
I like Novara media but after watching how these left activists viewed this Parish Council row I wonder how much actual involvement they have with grass roots issues.

All this may be true but it’s so cheerless.
We’re good at a national running joke on these isles (Boaty McBoatFace, David Blaine getting trolled in his glass box, Jack Dee never being voted out) and this is a good one.

Don't see why its cheerless.
The examples you give were not that funny to me.
Some people give up some of their valuable time working for their communities.
Looking at recording of one parish council to have a laugh at people is something to be frank I find slightly disturbing.
And what I said in previous post is accurate of how local communiity groups pan out.
Ive had to deal with situations at meeting in groups where things have got out of hand.
Ive also got pretty upset in some of my inter actions with my local Cllrs/ officers over issues.
So no Im not being cheerless Im being realistic. And Im not going to get drawn into seeing this as amusing.
So maybe Im not part of the "we". So be it.

I couldn’t watch it cos I suspect it would be too excruciating and in fact depressing rather than funny

It is the committee meeting that can be destroyed by the pettiness of its officers. I know committed club members who on joining the committee soon lose all interest in the club and - even life itself - so petty and self destructive do they find the procedures and means of the committee.
I was amused by the recording, it confirmed my views, also horrified that issues like those are rife in committees that actually do have some power over local issues.

Yea you've missed the boat, It could never live up to the hype now. I fully expect it to take up the whole of my works team meeting tomorrow.

Even pre-covid times, both my local councils live streamed their meetings & then uploaded the recordings to their sites and/or youtube.
Council meetings should be open to maximum public access, both in person & online, and that's how democracy should work, so I am puzzled why you think otherwise.

If you can't laugh at awful, misogynistic men with anger management issues facing national humiliation for utterly cuntish behaviour that they thought there would be no comeback on, then what can you laugh at?

To be honest, I didn’t find the original video funny at all. It was a bunch of pricks bullying a woman, and the woman standing up to the them and cutting through the bullshit to get some local politics done. I’ve no doubt at all that this dynamic is played out around the nation every single fucking week, every day.
What followed is making me laugh and cheer, because the pricks are exposed as risible pricks and Jackie Weaver is being celebrated. In the form of a creative running joke.

Yes large local Councils do in some areas. But not all small scale community meetings did this. Nor do I think my local Council lambeth streamed every Council meeting.
With the pandemic more small scale local meeting are taking place online. Usually using the preferred Team app. Rather than Zoom.
This was a small committee meeting of a small parish Council. Kind of doubt meeting like this would have been online pre Covid.
