- It's a Zoom meeting that has made Handforth Parish Council, Jackie Weaver, Aled's iPad and the phrase 'READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM' instantly recognisable all around Britain.
Parish council planning and environment committee meetings are usually quite a dull and sleepy affair. However, for the people of Handforth in Cheshire, one such event turned into an explosive trail of insults, power grabs and chaos as councillors lost control of what was meant to be a very simple agenda.
Footage of the absurd meeting of the Handforth Parish Council in December has since gone has gone viral with thousands of people left in stitches by the hilarious cast of characters. One of the participants, Jackie Weaver, who found herself at the centre of the furore became an internet sensation.

"A copy of this, will in fact be sent to the monitoring officer." The blood runs cold.
We had “I am the senate.”
Now we have “ I AM THE CHAIRMAN”

Any man who must say “I am the chairman”, is no chairman.
Which may be better than "I am the walrus. Googoogajoob."
Every councillor I've met I had no idea they were but felt utterly compelled to tell me. Great to see what they really get up to, bunch of self-important nobodies
On the flipside, I speak to Councillors daily from both parties and they are always pleasant.
This meeting was held to decide and vote on the planting for the church garden. Daffodils or tulips, it deteriorated then.
@Terry Knowles It's a typical Cultural-Maoist-Keynesian-Fabian tactic to try and seize the parochial church garden. That's the first gambit in any revolutionary takeover, followed by a move for the strawberry cream tarts at the summer fayre. Wouldn't you say, Terry?
Tulips obviously

It’s not surprising seeing as people on a council tend to be the most annoying people in the town, loving the sound of their own voice and desperate for the illusion of power and status.
I feel like I want to look up the rules for parish council meetings now lol
“You don’t know what you’re talking about”
Same guy: “The chairman of the council is the....ehh the chairman of the council”
Yes he is stating the obvious to people that seem not to understand the concept of a council meeting that believe they can control a meeting because they hosted the meeting.

“You have no authority here Jackie Weaver. I am the servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You shall NOT PASS!”
You have no power here, servant of Handforth.
Why meetings at this level should be held in person. Granny can flick a switch and you're gone.
Exactly. I am not sure what they did they warranted her ousting them.
The other gentlemen got irate because of her abuse of power.
Tell that to Parliament, no higher level, yet they all doing it by Zoom
@@alisonj.moller2895 the issue here is that the chair didn’t call the meeting, so he wasn’t the admin in the call. Because they hadn’t followed procedure and called a meeting the wrong way, it meant Jackie could do the wrong thing. In hindsight everyone should have just declined the meeting request and left the two councillors on their own, they have no illusions of power unless they are given an audience.
Please hide this from my husband (a Londoner) who believes giving devolved regional power to Northeners would be like this on a daily basis
Gonna start calling women like her a Jackie
Note to self, if wanting to take charge do not yell I TAKE CHARGE!
This has cheered my day up. Brilliant.
I think you'd be hard pushed to produce better comedy on the TV. Hilarious.
I can't stop watching it 😂😂😂
Could they make this into a TV sitcom? I haven’t laughed as much since Only Fools and Horses.
John Smith was loving it.
Can’t imagine wasting my life worrying about things like this. Have to feel sorry for all these people.
Feel sorry they are getting kick backs,these kind of people do nothing for free.

Gollum has entered the chat
My thoughts exactly lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I saw this comment before I heard that part
"Is my meeeeeeting...."
Please, please give us access to the next meeting 🤣
READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM!
These committees are always full of people with too much time on their hands. Maybe after hearing themselves they will realise how embarrassing and childish they were.
I agree! The tenants association at my apartment block is exactly like this 😂😂😂
The small council grows smaller
"Read the standing orders, READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM !!!" 😂😂
Jackie: I'm here to mediate the meeting
Chair: this meeting is illegal
Jackie: Boom, your out! Do we now have a chair?
Vice-chair: I'M THE CHAIR NOW, I'M IN CHARGE!
Jackie: Boom, your out! Do we now have a chair?
Crickets.........
definitely the best comment hear!!
Shame we can't do that with most of the cabinet. "I'm here to tell you that the lockdown is extended to the Autumn", boom your out, "you must stay home", boom, your out! What fun, all gone in an instant! Then someone from Monster Raving Loony Party could step in and say, I'm the Leader, I'm chairing the commons! They could be no worse than what we currently have 'leading'!.
Brilliant 😂😂
I love how the Chair says the meeting is illegitimate and then the Vice-Chair demands she read the standing orders. If it's not a legitimate meeting then the standing orders don't apply!
😂😂😂😂😂

I wonder what news has been buried by this headline?
Where's the chairman? We have a Chairman! Boom he's booted as well hahahaha what's going on here?
“We’re voting for a new chairman”
‘We already have a chairman!”
I am so confused
@@MichaelJ44 There's a difference between the chairman of the parish council and the chairman of the subcommittee that is meeting. The person claiming to be chairman chairs the wider council, but a subcommittee would elect its own chair.
With great power comes great responsibility!
maaan this going so viral has backfired on this Jackie woman quickly. Perhaps she was just hoping for a silent power grab.
Has it? The overwhelming majority of posts I have read are in support of her.
She didn't stray from her job to involve herself in this utter shite lol. Was funny tho
Kicking the leader out of the call so you can assume control in his absence? It’s called a coup
@@Raymanray85 I think the old gobby man is an overt Narcissist and Jackie is a covert

How on earth is Jackie in the wrong?
@@phiakate it’s just a comparison to the iconic “Come dine with me” moment seen from the other side of the argument. It’s just hilarious the whole situation and I’m not taking sides.

I don’t think John smith is getting enough recognition for his part in this. Perfect reactions 😂
They didn’t want the meeting and then pop up only to be abusive to the two people who actually want to speak.
"You have no authority here, Jackie!"
Jackie: * asserts dominance *
Tune in next week, when Jackie has her boom button removed and the vice chair takes charge.
“Welcome to Handforth” lmao
Sounds like a normal Zoom meeting in my work place.
Unfortunately this kind of behaviour is not uncommon. I witnessed a central beds committee meeting last month where members were shouting 'wake up' to other members when it was time to vote.
Well if they were asleep, that's understandable
This is what's called. Being. A grown up.
@@sw1000xg staying awake or waking the sleeping one up?
Your committee meeting sounds very much like a youtube comments section!!
@@thomassmith2227 spot on. Everyone's joking about this lot yet some of the comments on here are a bit to serious and cat scratchy too...
'jackie staged a coup but was met with stiff resistance by counter revolutionaries, conflict ensues'
Is this what council meets are like, very worrying
Blooming coups everywhere - only Handforth was able to resist. Pray for the US and Burma.
Jackie needs to read the standing orders ☕️
And understand them!
😱 (gasp)
Standing Orders are the female equivalent of the males attitude to an instruction manual... surplus to my requirements!
No Jackie needs a cattle prod to keep those bunch of whinging old farts in line!!!

Maybe you should be submitting them to the actual council rather than a church council?

@@blindlygrasping9567 humans are humans. The mindset of people on councils is usually consistent regardless of the level of authority the council is at. You'll find that people who actively seek out political power are those least suited to have it
'The chairman of the council is the chairman of the council, 😂😂😂
Handford Council , responsible for such vital decisions as where to site the litter bin or whether to have custard creams or digestives for future meetings . Do they get paid for this tomfoolery?
These people run the local council. Exactly the same issue across the country. None of them are fit to hold there positions.
Lol why? This is being run by a clerk she's not elected. The others are
Then stand for election if you think you could do a better job.
@@sw1000xg Because there all of a certain ilk. I agree it does sound like a bit of a hostile takeover but besides from that people like this are a drain on society. We know best, entitled, elevated do gooders. Id flush them all me
@@20quid 😂 People like me cant stand for election, the gatekeepers would have a field day with my history and if your face doesnt fit your pushed out anyway. Same across the public sector
@@ricardosmythe2548 Yes you can. All you have to do is print off the nomination papers online, fill them out, get 10 local voters to sign them (for a parish council you only need 2), and drop them off at the town hall. Then you'll be on the ballot paper.
It really is the most simple thing in the world.
Absolutely brilliant!!!!
READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM
Descends into chaos?
It was chaos right from the start until the end.
🤣🤣🤣
This is amazing...i want more!!
There is simply no hope for us! Ego's will stain this world forever!
Guess how local democracy operates all over the country atm........
Are these people the best that could be found to run towns? Seriously?
I have been present during ONE parish council meeting and I hope, I will never be forced to attend any more again. Bunch of oldies plucking feathers and ripping each others veins over an access to village library. Seriously, I was sitting there and trying to believe my eyes, not commenting, just living the moment, serious piece of Carpe Diem. At some point I was asked about my opinion but before I could express any, I was told I was too young (42) to have my say so I left. Her Majesty The Chairlady For Way Too Many Years told the whole village I left abruptly making everybody upset. :) Long Live The Chairlady of WH.
Utterly pathetic & disgusting behaviour from all of them I sincerely hope they're all removed from whatever pointless position it is that they occupy. The rest of the world will see this & split their sides laughing. Possibly the very worst thing I've ever seen.

Where's the Chairman
Nothing out of the ordinary to see here.
As a former councillor, Jackie is a type that is all too regular, no authority, thinks they're in charge and everybody hates them...
She's like a "formal Karen"
I wish these types would stay out of politics, they're just like Theresa Koffe or whatever a freakin name is...
They do not belong on local or district councils.
Not just councils! You find these people elbowing their way into Voluntary groups, charities.... anything to do with the Arts. They are a real drag on anyone trying to get anything done.
Lol 🤣
@@Quimbert6969 well that's the problem in a nutshell. Jackie is the tip of the iceberg. The more civil members deal with people like this all the time. They know if they don't help her unruffle her feathers, she'll be even more of a nightmare.
The real tragedy is that you can't get more capable people to take these positions because they won't have the patience to deal with this nonsense.
Is that honestly what you got from this, that Jackie was the problem and not those men? The background is the chairman refused to hold a meeting since last March and had disrupted efforts to have one. Two counsellors asked for help from the local council who sent Jackie to facilitate the meeting. The chairman and his bully boy pals predictably tried to disrupt it so they quite rightly got booted off. If you watch the next meeting, they ruin that one too and Jackie is not present. Jackie was absolutely in the right here, I can't believe anyone could defend how those men behaved, they were atrocious.
@@katec9893 I thought Jackie was the problem until I watched a longer clip when it was clear that two Councillors had approached her for help. Outside advisors are like vampires. They have to be invited in, which requires some delicate footwork if the Chairman is the person being complained about. Jackie was right but so was the Chairman. And, since she was playing the adult in the room, she could have been more diplomatic.
The real point is that none of it matters very much, since the Chairman would have been sent to the guillotine five minutes later. So his reign of terror was over and the rest of the Council would probably never meet Jackie again, provided they got their act together...
I hope they are all laughing about this now it has gone viral! All really very human...🤣😂
anyone else love how john smith is laughing his ass off !!!😅
This is about to go viral.
Total confusion ............. where's the Chairman?
Who's the angry Rottweiler sitting next to the old guy in the red jumper?

How can I get 'READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM!!!!!' as the message alert on my phone? 🤣
Middle England at its absolute finest!
What a vile bloody busy body!!! 🤬
What reasonable person would choose to be on a parish council with these elderly bullies?
People who realise that if they're not on the council then the bullies have full control to do what they like.
They all need to retire there all messed up. Shame on us
They probably are retired. This is how people behave when they suddenly have too much time on their hands.
A Parish Council has no authority over planning anyway, they are merely advisory.
This is like the office, work from home episode

Don't forget that most parish council elections are uncontested. If you get numptys like this on the council is because ordinary people didn't put themselves forward.
