Because I refuse to believe that those appalling men would have spoken to another man the way they attempted to shout her down. She handled herself so beautifully.

Frankly I think she deserves to be Dame Jackie Weaver for services to common sense!

HenriettaHeffalump · 07/02/2021 00:27

Isn't it @Miljea? I bloody love it.

HenriettaHeffalump · 07/02/2021 00:30

I must have watched it 5 times and keep laughing at it 😂😂.

@Catlover77

Jackie Weaver and Joanna Cherry are my heroes of the week

Mine too, they're both very impressive!

Yanbu. I work in governance related work and I think she did a fabulous job.

Local Government Act 1972. The Clerk legalised the Parish Council meeting even though they are unelected. Complaints had been made to Cheshire West's Democratic Services team about bullying and the current Clerk/RFO/Proper Officer (it is common for a Clerk to hold all 3 roles) contacted them on a matter of councillor conduct. The local Association sent in Queen Jackie to Clerk the meeting and that she did. And toasted a few mysogynic arseholes in the process.

I want a t-shirt Grin

Jackie weaver 4 pm

grassisjeweled · 07/02/2021 01:32

Can you point to procedural legislation here?

Yeah, Viv, what's up with that?

TheresOnlyOneJackieWeaver · 07/02/2021 01:36

Jackie is such a Legend. Love the opera version!

TheresOnlyOneJackieWeaver · 07/02/2021 01:38

@Viviennemary

She wasn't elected.
Shouty pouty man is masquerading as Viv now, reduced to being a keyboard warrior as his name is mud in handforth and he can’t leave the house 🤣
NotBadConsidering · 07/02/2021 01:51

I’ve just watched this. It’s like a scene from Hot Fuzz. Amazing!

echt · 07/02/2021 01:56

Superb stuff.

As everyone in Australia will think Jackie Weaver is a mistype for the Aussie actor Jacki Weaver, I was baffled that this excellent thespian had somehow gone viral. She does have the chops for this role, though.

Still, hats off to Jackie.

NotBadConsidering · 07/02/2021 01:58

Yes, Jacki Weaver should play Jackie Weaver in a film version. That would be be awesome.

FrankButchersDickieBow · 07/02/2021 01:59

Jackie Weaver was great.

Another reason to add as to why women should run the world.

Quaagars · 07/02/2021 02:03

YADNBU, watched the video and she handled herself beautifully.
The shouty men at the beginning were awful, and yeah, my arse they'd have spoken/shouted that way at a man.

LApprentiSorcier · 07/02/2021 02:04

Ha, yes, I'm in the UK and when this story first broke and I was trying to find the original YouTube video, I kept getting results for Jacki Weaver the actor.

Chloemol · 07/02/2021 02:51

@Viviennemary

I suggest you look up parish councils on google. She was supporting/clerking the meeting. She doesn’t need to be ejected she us not a councillor

Chloemol · 07/02/2021 02:51

Elected not ejected, although I am glad those three were ejected.,

FourPillars · 07/02/2021 02:59

The sequel made me admire Sue too!

Thedogscollar · 07/02/2021 03:02

Jackie Weaver is up there with the vaccines Grin what a woman.

TwangBadge · 07/02/2021 03:12

There are some good Jackie T shirts on Redbubble

Raindough · 07/02/2021 03:15

Sadly she’ll be forgotten soon, just like everyone featured in sudden viral video. I doubt the men involved even see the error of their ways, I bet they’re found a way to twist it back on her
