Agreed. It was car-crash-gawking stuff.

There’s a TV series idea there that could rival The Office.

I’m getting to work on “Parish The Thought” right now.

I know of a Town Council Clerk (a SCC employee) who was sent to run the [Name Withheld, but it's not Ixworth] Parish Council.

The town councillors took against the clerk. She started getting threatening anonymous letters. She went to the local police. 'You'd best leave then', was the response from the police.

Two Councillors from the same council were, on another occasion, fighting in a local restaurant.


True stories.

Am I missing something here? Its just a load of tedious tw@ts at a parish council meeting. The internet's gone wild for this today and I haven't a scooby.

It's Dad's Army for the Pandemic Apocalypse. Lord of the Flies on Zoom. Yhe lost Stanley Kubrick episode of Ever Decreasing Circles

Bumptiousness, pride, switching, sucking up, pettiness, rivalry, bureaucracy, rage, revenge. All distilled into a Zoom call.

I'm guessing that your experience of the pandemic is so removed from mine and most people's, but for those of us who have to work on Zoom this is a beautiful distorted mirror version of our ever-shrinking reality, and we laugh because our Zoom calls haven't descended into these levels of Civil War.


Yet.

I forget that my working still mostly involves interacting with face-to-mask, at least.

'Can I be assured that I won't be thrown out the meeting like last time'. And then goes on to show exactly why he was thrown out of the meeting

Great stuff.

I have worked with politicians at all levels between Cabinet and Parish Council. Believe it or not, the higher up the structure a politician is, the easier (in general) they are to deal with on a day to day basis, regardless of party. (Or at least that was the case in the decades before 2010 when it seems there was a big change).

Parish / town councillors are often the most p*ssed with their self-importance.
