The clip comes from a Handforth Parish Council meeting held over Zoom in England, which was shared online and went viral in early 2021 after viewers were struck by its disorder and shouting. Jackie Weaver, who was running the remote meeting, tells a participant that he has no authority after he attempts to take control of the proceedings. Clips of the exchange spread across Twitter, TikTok and YouTube, turning the phrase into a widely quoted meme. It remains popular because it captures a familiar moment when someone tries to assert power they do not actually hold.
