Who is Jackie Weaver?

What did not make the post, but was necessary, was half an hour double-checking the legal status of Parish Council standing orders - only to conclude it did not need expressly mentioning in the post

For a chair of a parish council to insist he has powers under the standing orders in a committee meeting that he also says is invalid...

...is a wonderful display of privilege

For if it is invalid, then the standing orders would not apply, as no meeting is taking place
