    Nice to see an article that contains within it the notion that at Charlton Athletic we are (and were) at the forefront of Anti Racism in football.
    It is an ongoing problem, but long live the woke people like Paul Elliott who is prepared to stand up against it.

    Personally think the term has been completely destroyed from its original meaning and there's no coming back from it and it should be resigned to history.

    Anti-racism. It’s the original meaning. Simples. Let’s end the discussion of woke there.

    Do we really have to have this discussion/argument for the umpteenth time?
    What the hell is wrong with people?

    No. We absolutely don't.

    Although there does seem to be less of these discussions on here these days, thankfully.
