Has the meaning altered?
The CEO of John Lewis is apparently woke but exactly what does this mean in this context?

Some of the top-rated comments:
"She's a woke"
"Went woke"
"Go Woke, go Broke and serve you right"
"Yeah but the CEO ticks all the right boxes, so results don't matter"
"It's simple, John Lewis is losing money because it went woke."
And not forgetting the classic:

I'm not sure that's wholly true. John Lewis is relatively pricey and for that you'd expect a better quality of service and that's not true anymore. That along with people tightening their belts and as you say - a move to online shopping...
...so my question is why is 'wokery' being touted as a reason for JL's demise?

Woke. def. Togo Dictionary.
"A habit of loudly and ostentatiously displaying ones caring and worthy nature whilst demonstrating the opposite. To be practiced at all times as a counter to anything that smacks of common sense or unpalatable truth. Under no circumstances are practical solutions to be explored but the denigration of anyone who does, must be vigorously denounced as wicked and uncaring. A useful tool for the inept though eager to gain the moral high ground.....usually self appointed."
Synonyms.
Stupid. Jealous. Confused. Needy. Naïve.
Antonyms.
Sensible. Considerate. Experienced. Modest.

//why are so many commentators on the story describing the CEO of John Lewis as ‘woke’???//
I haven't elected myself the spokesman(oops. sorry if I have offended with my word) for the Mail's readers forum. Why don't you log into the comments site and ask them? Or are you afraid of them giving you short thrift, truthful answers?

I think I'd get much more considered answers here. I'm trying to establish whether the definition of woke has morphed.
