Are your Zoom meetings ever like this? Parish Council meeting descends into chaos

[chomalungma]

There is some awful behaviour on here.

It breaks down badly at 4 minutes.

I saw that on Twitter. Wonder who recorded it?

This made me weep with laughter earlier! Kudos to Jackie for holding her own surrounded by vile men. I think they discuss the fact it's being recorded and agree to publish it with the minutes towards the end?

Minutes posted on the council's website read: "This meeting was duly called by two councillors following the refusal of the Council Chairman to call such a meeting.

"As the Chairman of the Council (Cllr Tolver) was present he was invited to take the Chair.

"Cllr Tolver refused to recognise the legitimacy of the meeting and proceeded to disrupt the proceedings.

"He was again asked to proceed with the meeting but continued to act in a disruptive and aggressive matter and was therefore removed from the meeting and put into the virtual waiting room.

"Cllrs Brewerton and Burkhill behaved in a similar manner and were also removed to the waiting room.

"In the waiting room they were advised that they would be welcome to re-join the meeting if they ceased their disruptive behaviour. There was no response

I’ve just come on MN to talk about this. That was the laugh I needed today. Too many good bits to mention

Go Jackie Weaver.

The Vice Chair who shouts "Read them and understand them"

FFS. That is awful behaviour.

I like the bit when someone answers their phone.

And when they’re discussing the name labels.

God, this has made every lockdown Zoom meeting worth it.

If they livestream the next one I'm totally watching 😂

That was hilarious! Thanks for posting

DH just showed me this 10 minutes ago

Reminds me of PTA meetings 20 years ago.

Omg this is fantastic

That vice chairs a right knob. So aggressive! I always imagined these types of thing to be gentle events. Like vicar of dibley.

Oh wow I am crying with laughter.

When should we start the meeting?
Fuck off

😅😅😅😅

This is not uncommon in PC meetings, and it tends to be the long standing members who think they know the constitutional points and don't. Dreadful behaviour! I did see a similar one recently from a local council when they realised the meeting didn't have the right people and had to stop after a few minutes. Again the chair was rude and got it wrong!

I think Jackie Weaver should be given a role in the Government, she'd soon sort things out 😂

I want to be Jackie Weaver when I grow up!

Jackie!

There’s a toilet flushing somewhere too. Go Jackie Weaver though!

This is fantastic!

Those men!

Jackie is awesome.

Fuck! That brings back some miserable memories of village committee meetings past.

It’s extraordinary. If I lived there I’d be cross about the fact they achieve bugger all, but as I don’t 🤣

You have no authority here!
