Handforth Parish Council: a thread
Jackie Weaver: The star of the show. A leader with an iron fist who didn't care for chairmen, clerks or standing orders. Could probably solve the Korean war if she wanted to.
The Britney Spears quote was iconic.

Handforth PC Clerk: Was he a clerk? Was he the chairman? Who knows. Clearly used to getting his own way, probably tells off kids for going too high on the swings. Imagine he just continued shouting at his iPad long after he was kicked out.
John Smith: A reluctant leader who took charge in a crisis.
Seems to think that Handforth is Baghdad, but seemed like a nice enough chap that you'd say "hi" to down the shops.

Aled's iPad #1: Looks alarmingly like Gino D'Acampo. Clearly only turned up for the fight, and was never really interested in solving important parish matters.
We'll return to person number 2 later on.

Barry Burkhill: Seemed to wang on about chairman and not much else. Was given his marching orders pretty quickly by Jackie, who clearly knew he was a well-known parish troublemaker.
Julie's I pad: Oh Julie, wonderful Julie. Some brilliant light relief amidst the rising tensions. Summed up covid times with her ignorance of the mute button. Never change.
Cyn: All about the law and order, and was upset by the lack of respect shown during the fiery altercations. Was firmly against any loosening of sanctions. We saw her mellow a little bit though towards the end.
Sue: Floated the idea of letting the early troublemakers back in, which was shot down quickly by Cyn. Had a real soft spot for Alan. Can see a romance blossoming there.
Alan's iPad: Sadly caught in the early cross-fire and wrongly put on the "naughty step" for much of the meeting. Took it well though. Seems like a lovely chap.
Ian Ball: Doesn't miss a trick. Rightly pointed out that the council chairman's zoom label said "clerk" and not "chairman". Must be a retired detective.
Aled's iPad #2: Had a dig at Cyn for being from Birkenhead and then laughed "like a hyena". Did try and calm his younger counterpart at first, but then seemed to quickly sink to his level.
Peter Moore: Had strong opinions on the chairman/clerk, calling him a "complete disgrace" for not holding a meeting since March (despite there being no meetings).
Would like to hear him play a few tunes on those guitars in the background.

Roger Small: His response to Jackie's question of "who's Alan Murdoch please" with "yes please" was undoubtedly one of the highlights. Only a small role, but a crucial one.
Also helped correct Alan's unfortunate miscarriage of justice.

David Pincombe: Spotted the viral potential of this meeting long before anyone else did. Will be working at LadBible in no time.
If you have no idea wtf I'm on about. Here's the video.
Not sure why I spent 45 minutes making this. I enjoyed it though.
