Handforth Parish Council meeting - hilarious zoom video

[BigMoaner]

I think what makes it so fucking funny is that none of the councillors really break their stride of arguing about completely irrelevant statues with each other while this all goes around them

it's still glorious. it's so heavy on the seriousness and dryness but remaining gilted and mad and eccentric.

 

[Petcha]

I think we all need to get lives. This is what passes for entertainment these days. I think we're through the looking glass.

 

[two sheds]

This is LIFE.

How would we get cricket pavillion roofs repaired if it wasn't for these people?

This latest meeting has already clocked up over 65k views on youtube, more than 10 times the population of Handforth parish.

statues or statutes?

A statue of Jackie Weaver would be brilliant.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Maybe, but what right did she have to remove them to the waiting room or dictate their behaviour, as a non elected attendee?

She was acting as the Clerk to the meeting, so I guess her role is to ensure it runs effectively.

I'm sure someone could raise a motion at the next meeting to get this sorted. Although I'm sure Brian would have to raise several objections on planning grounds.

 

[Argonia]

I reckon one of them would probably Edward Colston it.

She had the authority:

You say that like it's a bad thing Perhaps I should have added a smiley, oh well, I'll let people take it in whatever context they like! More fun that way.

its complicated but worth reading and understanding

 

[kabbes]

Removing them without a vote genuinely was against the standing orders, which makes it even funnier.

 

[two sheds]

yes the 'READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM' bloke was actually right

 

[Argonia]

Was he on last night? Didn't see him.

Tbf, there's people who've been listening to The Archers or similar for years now.

The highlight appears to be Camden Lily getting progressively more pissed as the meeting goes on and it almost descending into chaos when someone fires up the benny Hill theme. Top stuff.

 

[skyscraper101]

I liked it when someone called B.Spears held up a picture of Brian, then Jackie Weaver

 

[BigMoaner]

can see the inevitable Weaver backlash is starting to build. Maybe she really should have read and understood them.

That was one of the Councillor's ringtones I think

I don't think so, take a look at this point in time...



I reckon it was Robert Staples, far right & second from the bottom, he seems to be playing with his phone & moving it closer to this laptop's mic., but whoever it was sets Camden Lilly off in fits of laugher, one of the best bits IMO.

 

[BigMoaner]

Martin looks like he's watching Yeovil vs Carlisle the whole time. and it's a nil-nil.

 

[Petcha]

I keep dipping in and out for ten mins here and there during work. It keeps getting better. This is easily better than the first. I'm up to 1.44. James is stoned. Lily's pissed, Craig's nodding along like he gives a shit and still the councillors are arguing about whether the meeting is legal or not.

 

[BigMoaner]

Roger Small looks pure alluminati/deep state.

 

[BigMoaner]

just delved in around the 2 hour mark and there is a man upside down while brian is talking about who should and shouldn't speak (again).

Yup, I’m definitely Team Tolver

Yup, I’m definitely Team Tolver

Not a single council meeting set up since last March, then tried to declare the December one illegal. The man’s a complete disgrace.

(According to the councillor with all the guitars on the wall anyway).

 

[Treacle Toes]

Eh?

Nooooooo!

Handforth Parish Council could be abolished under boundary review

A boundary review suggests merging the rowdy local authority with neighbouring Wilmslow.

A boundary review, which began before the meeting, has suggested it should be merged with neighbouring Wilmslow.
"It's not something I'll be voting for; Handforth needs its own council," said Cheshire East councillor Julie Smith.

Jackie Weaver, who shot to fame for keeping her cool amid the online meeting's sniping, laughter and disarray, said she was "sure the people of Handforth will be up in arms" about the proposed merger plans.

Not as much as the people of Wilmslow!
