The Parish Council Meeting

Due to current Covid restrictions, Handforth Parish Council meeting was held on zoom
Present committee members gathered virtually, from the comfort of their living room

Jackie Weaver had been asked to host and given a position of seniority
Some councillors were abusive, rudely declared, she held no authority

She kept calm and in control, of the Handforth Parish Council meeting on zoom
Those guilty of bad behaviour were silenced, placed into a virtual waiting room

The video was shared on Twitter, in just a day or two, it had three million views
The meeting ended up going viral across the nation, even making front page news

Jackie Weaver found overnight fame for kicking councillors into a virtual room
Now no one questions her authority, to host Handforth Parish Council meetings on Zoom

I don't need to follow the news anymore.
All the important stuff gets a poem on WOL anyway ?

Electronic democracy in disputed (disreputable?) action, no less!
A storm in the proverbial tea-cup.
