JK Rowling offers to pay year's salary of person behind 'unauthorised' civil service tweet

Rowling was not the only celebrity who responded to the unsanctioned tweet, which was read out twice on BBC News after it had been taken down.

Oh, that's sweet.

Irresponsible and stupid, what sort of message are you sending?

Yep let’s all encourage disloyalty. Let’s all not trust each other, let’s go behind each other’s back. Was it not JK who took her PA to court for being disloyal and breaking her trust, yes it was (Ok she did steal from her too).

Civil servants are suppose to be neutral which makes me think how well are they performing for the government if they allow this,lots of anti Brexit employees trying to destroy the government to reverse the public vote.

Unpopular opinion- although I completely agree with the tweet's sentiment, I wish they hadnt done it. The civil service are already used as a scapegoat by the more cultish brexit crowd (both sides have them.) This just adds to the view that the civil service aren't impartial and

Did she offer large quantities of money to Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden? Course not, they actually rock the boat.

Always trying to grab a headline. Pathetic.

Nice one. Let’s protect those who speak truth to power.

Traitor.

Was the employee right to communicate their personal views? Is it right to encourage such a behaviour? What if it was something worse that calling someone arrogant? Who decides? Shall we start a conversation and demand more transparency from the state (not the citizens)?

Only a year 💤

Do we think it was intentional or the tweeter was switching between twitter accounts and accidentally used the wrong one? Either way. Genius.

Fab one jk_rowling; hope there's a relief fund set up, to support this awesome individual and other whistleblowers to come; as they are victimised as expected.

Good, because if there is a go fund me page I’m going to donate and as soon as I can print off the tweet and buy a frame it’s going on my wall xx

Thnx Ma’am for d generacity

If there is any justice that person will be transgender. A minority Ms Ro*ling seems to wish to persecute

They individual responsible would lose a lot more than a year's salary for coming forward.

It was me 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪

Good on JK. Hx

Good the guy's a hero! about time someone said it. After much soul searching, the tories are yet to find one.

Dumbledore is gay.
