I think you need to appraise yourself of the real meaning, Al. Here is a very good article on it by Tiffany Markman. Look her up. She seems to really know her stuff. From the article "woke implies social activism, nationalism, and collectivism. It suggests rage, passion, resistance, action; seeking to draw a line against the unacceptable" Which is where you and I got involved in a heated exchange some time back. You believed that saying "People in my home county Lincolnshire are very. upset at the influx of Eastern Europeans, and the lawlessness they have bought to towns like Boston" and "then along comes the free movement of European citizens. they all want council houses, free education, free health care" was acceptable. I didn't. Was I woke to challenge you on that? Yes, probably. I had hoped that it made you think too. Has it?
