[@betsybarnicle8016]

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).

[@danellboy5757]

He was having a go at the guy who got kicked not John Smith (just watched the full vid)

Having watched the full length video and a lot of other videos dating back to 2015, I can tell you the following: - Aled is actually the younger, left-hand-side figure in the 'Aled's iPad' mise en scène. This is not even him at his angriest. In another video he reads out a piece of legal advice he has been given. When Alex Murdoch asks if they can have a copy of it he refuses on grounds of confidentiality despite the fact he has just been recorded reading it out. He also warns that if anyone emails him asking for a copy he will have them prosecuted for 'molestation'. When the other councillors laugh at him for saying this he responds 'TRY IT'. He also mentioned in the full-length video that he has failed a lawsuit against the Parish Council in the High Court. Let's hope they have Zoom. - Brian Tolver (the chairman in this video but whose username is 'Handforth PC Clerk') wasn't always the head honcho. As recently as 2017 he was a marginal and crumpled figure given to disrupting meetings by sending them down meaningless tangents. At one point a member of the public alleged they had been 'warned off' from attending the meetings and Brian investigated the mystery with all the zeal and subtlety of Columbo (although obviously not quite as well dressed). - The viral video is only the tip of the iceberg of the seething contempt that Pete Moore has for Brian Tolver and which he is not remotely shy about vocalising. I will bet money his is the voice that says 'fuck off' at the start of the call when Tolver's giant face is visible. - The power struggle has been going for at least a year with Tolver, Aled, and Barry Burkhill versus everyone else. Since July, Cheshire East Council (the level of government immediately above) have been investigating reports of war in the HPC and this has already resulted in what Jackie W describes as 'the most strongly-worded letter I have ever seen a monitoring officer send a parish council', as well as Jackie herself being dispatched as a roving troubleshooter. - According the the HPC website, the next meeting is due to take place on 11th Feb and one of the motions due to be debated is whether or not the council should fund a local production of Dick Whittington. - Cyn and Sue clearly both fancy a piece of Alex Murdoch and a love triangle storyline is almost certain to develop. - I still don't know who the old geezer next to Aled is who laughs 'like a hyena'. - John Smith is a really, really solid, great guy who is a credit to Handforth (and it's environs). I live about seven miles from Handforth. If anyone wants me to do a bit of local investigating, feel free to direct me...

[@patrickchampion8179]

"John Smith is a really, really solid, great guy who is a credit to Handforth (and it's environs)." One of my friends grew up in Wilmslow couldn't believe it when he saw this video. John Smith was his driving instructor a couple of years back! Apparently he was a sound guy then as well.

[@chriscory1623]

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.
