JK Rowling has been suffering constant abuse since the Scottish referendum from cybernats - hardline Yes voters who have been berating the 'Harry Potter' author for her views on the Union. Things have escalated recently, with Rowling suffering misogynistic abuse and calls for her to emigrate.

The abuse has only been exacerbated by the General Election, but now fans have responded to Scottish nationalists telling her to leave the country by offering up their own homes and countries as potential new bases for the Edinburgh-based author.

The world is a nice place.
