Reflections in the Castlefield basin which was lower than I had ever seen it, presumably following the huge breach in the Bridgewater Canal near Dunham Massey.

Autumn Family Fun Guide
2
Go on a crunchy autumn rant!
Get your wellies on and kick through some leaves
while venting about the wokes
[Show someone red faced, kicking up leaves, shouting “BUT BRITAIN *ABOLISHED* SLAVERYYY”]
3
Make a stick man to argue with
Straw men are for summer, but in the autumn you can glue together sticks, woodland items
and made-up talking points for a fun debate
[A hand holding a little stick man with a pinecone head while the person argues with it: “Actually country houses *aren’t* racist”]
4
Forage for nuts in the NT Council Candidates statements!
See if you can identify the nutty right-wingers in the NT Council Candidates’ election statements
[Show a parent and child looking through NT website - child says
“I’ve spotted a mention of ‘woke forces’!”]
5
Make a woodland shelter to protect commonsense conservatives from all the wokeness
[Show a big box constructed on a tree trunk with a person hiding inside it. A child whispers to them from nearby:
“You are safe now”]
6
Build a cosy bonfire by gathering copies of the Interim Report on Colonialism and Slavery
[Show a bonfire scene, a person sitting next to it]
I mean it was AGES ago
7
Spot Some Candidates in the Mist
Every autumn anti-woke campaigners come out of hiding to try and take over the gaff. How many can you spot?
[Show people stalking round the NT property grounds like deer]
8
Join us for Spooky Storytime!
Throughout October our more right-leaning members will be telling scary tales of woke ghouls and demons
[Show an NT volunteer in a dark candle-lit hut, saying to children “They’re coming to kill our history…”]

Forgot I did another comic about the NT thing in @prospectmagazine.co.uk two years ago. I loathe all the culture wars stuff we have to wade through nowadays but I can't say it hasn't given us all something to write about. That's part of the problem of course
