Charity faces probe for calling Rowling a ‘bitch’

A charity which branded author JK Rowling a "bitch" is to be investigated by regulators.

The abusive Twitter message was posted after Rowling stated her support for a No vote in the Scottish independence referendum with a £1m donation to Better Together and a blog detailing the “serious risks” of independence.

The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, has written about her views on her website, highlighting her concerns about the economy and medical research.
