    This is direct from the standing orders of the Handforth council rules:
    P The Chairman, if present, shall preside at a meeting. If the Chairman is absent from a
    meeting, the Vice-Chairman, if present, shall preside. If both the Chairman and the
    Vice-Chairman are absent from a meeting, a Councillor as chosen by the Councillors
    present at the meeting shall preside.
    The chairman, in this video, is not known. We don't even know who the chairman is. HOWEVER, the vice chairman, IS present... And thus, he has Handforth rights to preside the council meeting.
    The fact he appears a violent psychopath, like the fact no meetings were held in the last few months, is irrelevant.
    THE HANDFORTH STANDING ORDERS ARE THE HANDFORTH STANDING ORDERS.
    Jackie Weaver, has gone off grid renegade.

    This is how it should be! Call bullshiters and sssholes out! If you did this in US, they'll bully you and call you a trouble maker, then you have to go to HR and get punished

    You'd think by that advanced age these people are they are no spring chickens but by now they would have the maturity and the manners to conduct themselves with a little mutual respect. I've witnessed this in organized group of seniors who each of whom were probably powered troopers during their careers still and their eighties nineties whatever have to win their point don't they? They will die with big ego's and what will they have accomplished in the end? Why even bother being officials or alderman whatever they are I didn't quite get that. Grow up geriatrics!
