      I think you would be surprised and disappointed by the software engineering industry lol code reviews can go to the death over tabs versus spaces and bullshit like that… Also I think the general idea is called the law of triviality... where people spend way too much time debating the trivial stuff and the more important things are left unremarked upon...Honestly I feel like this video is a perfect example of it

      This is the core of this dispute and the reason two councillors requested a meeting and Jackie Weaver as a mediator;
      The Chairman wouldn't hold a meeting.
      If I hadn't known that, I was assuming Jackie Weaver enabled a coup, with the enamored ladies voting the charming John Smith as the new Chairman. But they were following protocol by having two councillors vote for a meeting, without the Chairman needing to agree. The Chairman was right, though, that he should have been 'copied' on the letters from the councillors (he never got proper notice).

    6:31 He paused with bated breath, waiting for the uproarious laughter he was confident would come. After all, why wouldn't it? "Welcome to Handforth" he had uttered, with such panache and almost legendary comedic timing. He knew this moment would go down in history. They would talk about this for years to come. "That's strange" he thought, as he was met with prolonged silence. They have left themselves on mute, that must be it! They're all laughing for sure, he just couldn't hear it. They will all come off mute in their droves to congratulate him for sure, he knew. But still he waited, waited for the laughter that never came... "May I start?" he uttered, truly defeated.

    Ian being so pleased with himself when he says he has a photograph of the chairman’s name on zoom is my favourite

    I love it when people try enforce a hierarchy just for hierarchy's sake. Pure comedy gold.

      @@EvadeModsRGH the point is supposed to be that the chairman didn't call any meetings for 6 months, but the way they worded it makes it sound like the chairman has been absent from meetings that never happened.

      The law states that if a councillor fails to attand any meetings of a parish or town council to which they are elected during a period of six months, they are AUTOMATICALLY disqualified and a vacancy on the council must be declared.
      The councillor concerned can't be given dispensation retrospectively, nor can the disqualification be reversed by a motion passed by the parish council.
      If it is true that the council did not meet for 6 months then it would seem that ALL the councillors are disqualified and the next teir council (district/county) should arrange for a new council to be elected.
      Also law states parish councils have to have a minimum of 3 meetings per year. Cheshire CC should step in and fire the lot of them.

      Sometimes yearning for closure of a matter can substitute a grand amount of tension in the plot, regardless of pits and slow segments that follow, if it is done correctly. These are clearly highly paid, professional actors, and they would create no less of a masterpiece for your pleasure of viewing.
