WARNING: Post contains explicit language
Labour supporting JK Rowling has been on the receiving end of horrific online abuse after a the Tories' nationawide majority and the SNP's landslide victory in Scotland.
Instead of taking the chance to be happy and celebrate, a few people appear to have taken great relish in hurling gloating obscenities at the Harry Potter author.

Even apparent Ukip supporters got in the act.
Go fuck yourself you disgusting slimy Labour cunt. You Blairite scum ruined this country. #VoteUKIP

And this was just a bit odd.
Dear @jk_rowling
Everything still OK in this nation with 95% SNP MPs?
Now I hope you wont be funding any of these extremist minorities!

Fortunately Rowling is pretty adept with words...
.@ChrisDarroch2 Chris, if you're this angry in victory, you must really need a hug.

@ChrisDarroch2 and you can't spell "Slytherin".

.@sjosiah0 The Internet doesn’t just offer opportunities for misogynistic abuse, you know. Penis enlargers can also be bought discreetly.

Holy shit. @jk_rowling's hilarious tweet left us all speechless. That. Was. Brilliant.

And their defence was pretty poor.
@HuffPostUK Well she needs to stop putting her point across when she doesn't have a clue how much upset she causes

If you could all see the amount of love and support flooding my timeline right now, you would be - as I am - overwhelmed. #FaithRestored

.@jk_rowling is amazing! The best reply to a troll attacking her for having an opinion. What's wrong with you, UK? https://t.co/nzJFLx2JAr

when @jk_rowling continuously roasts people who talk shit to her>>> 😂😂

No one deserves the vitriol being slung at @jk_rowling. Being a woman (famous or not) with an opinion doesn't make it open season.
