He has a massive issue with handshaking for some reason, nothing to do with being disabled or foreign he just hates it

She should, totally agree.

He's a germaphobe. Also never drinks because he thinks it's a dangerous vice and had a brother who died from alcoholism.

Trump thinks the US is losing the war in Afghanistan... he might be onto something at last.

Of course they are unless you want to be in the doghouse on a regular occasion.

She stands on a platform preaching to the world what everyone else should do, you know, like take in more refugees etc etc. Rumour has it, in all her UK mansions she has 18 spare bedrooms. I don't think she has took any in.

Hence the following Petition: https://www.change.org/p/j-k-rowling...spare-bedrooms

Gary Lineker is another who preaches on with himself too.

These people have to try very hard to make themselves better about being as greedy as they are you see. So they carry on raking in the money, buying more luxury property and reducing the tax they pay whilst preaching about morals and humanity to the rest of us. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Well, considering JK Rowling has given over £150 million to charity, I would say she is practicing what she preaches.

Rubbish. Where are the refugees and are there any being housed in any of her several homes?

She's donated a lot more than that I think, the figure is from 2012 and last year she was one of the biggest givers again: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...uses-year.html

JK Rowling was the second most generous celebrity with £10.3million generated and donated by her childrens' charity Lumos Foundation and the Volant Charitable Trust, which funds research into multiple sclerosis.

But you can't win, here is someone who produced a remarkable British success story, whose work has been a massive cultural benefit to Britain and increased tourism and donates millions and millions to charity each year but she'll still be a hypocrite and greedy. People seem incapable of believing other people can be nice, generous and have decent intent.

Telling a lie about the President isn't nice, generous and of decent intent. Her philanthropy doesn't excuse her mistake which could be resolved simply with a public apology.

And she let herself down preaching to the world, she is trying to use her success and inject her politics to the rest of the world.

Most of us get she hates President Trump, but to use a disabled boy to push her hate agenda, is plain wrong and she got caught out for it.

It is all well and good her saying we should let more refugees in, where are they going to live?

There is a chronic housing shortage for our own citizens and homelessness is increasing tenfold in the UK and all these rich celebrities preach to carry on letting more in, but so long as it is not anywhere near to them, with their built up mansions surrounded by walls, the very thing she and others is having a go at President Trump for.

She should stick to writing fiction, although she is doing a good job on that on twitter, lately.

You can't distill someone's entire character down to one misjudged tweet. She should have apologized but it doesn't negate everything else she has ever done.

We don't know what she is really like as a person but what does come out is largely highly positive. Aside from her work, which people should be proud of coming from the UK, she has donated and worked a lot with charity. Why the need to add JK Rowling to the list of greedy hypocrites.

To be honest from a place where people were largely for Brexit I've not seen a place that is so uniformly negative about this country. Everything from the art it creates, the people it produces and the institutions it's created

Hang on, I've not said anything like that! Do you think that, like J K Rowling in this event, you might be projecting your sensitivities onto me?

Call me old fashioned but if you (Rowling) make a mistake, then you should apologise. It's simply good manners and very significant when millions of people are watching and potentially influenced by the things you say and do.
