Granada Reports Advent Heroes: Meet the viral sensation Jackie Weaver

  • Granada Reports Advent Heroes: Day 8 - Jackie Weaver

Every day in December we're opening a door of our Granada Reports Advent Calendar of local heroes.

Each day, we'll be meeting someone who has gone above and beyond in what has been a very difficult year.

Today is the turn of Jackie Weaver who skyrocketed to fame after a video of the parish council meeting she was chairing went viral online.

Since the zoom meeting Jackie has used her notoriety to promote the importance of local politics, and try to get more people interested. 

The Zoom meeting was viewed millions of times and made stand-in clerk Jackie a household name when the former chairman's remark that she had "no authority here" became a meme.

Since then, Jackie has used her notoriety to promote the importance of local politics, and try to get more people interested.
