The 'woke' Archbishops of Canterbury and York are actually just doing their jobs by speaking out on social justice, says Dave Platt (Image: Agency)
I do wish people would use the word ‘woke’ in its true context.
Peter Rickaby (Letters, July 18) criticises Archbishops Welby and Cottrell for having no purpose other than jumping on every ‘woke’ bandwagon.
As ‘woke’ is to be aware of and actively attentive to important societal acts and issues, especially of racial and social justice, then surely said Archbishops are just going about their business and acting accordingly?
It is time you ‘woke’ up, Peter.
