J.K. Rowling defends lack of Brexit stamps, getting Piers Morgan’s attention
By Callum Gunn
When Christopher Hope asked a question about the lack of Brexit stamps, J.K. Rowling jumped straight in with a reason. That caught Piers Morgan and it looks like another Twitter fight will happen.
J.K. Rowling and Piers Morgan make it no secret they don’t like each other. They constantly go at each other on Twitter with their opposing views. So, it’s no surprise that the two are on the opposite side when Daily Telegraph journalist, Christopher Hope, asked about the lack of Brexit stamps. And you can surely guess who is on each side.
The argument started due to Royal Mail releasing a set of stamps featuring various owls. The stamps are supposed to be a small way to commemorate the beautiful animals, but like everything on Twitter it has to come down to Brexit (or Trump sometimes, but this time Brexit).
Hope wanted stamps to commemorate the split from the EU. So, J.K. Rowling offered her unadulterated opinion on the matter. Needless to say, she isn’t on the side of Brexit and had a comedic twist with the reasoning. That quickly led to her fans jumping in with a few ideas that could sum up her points of view.

Stamps are too small to depict the fact that nostalgic jingoism, fear-mongering, racism and flag-waving delusion narrowly won a referendum, thereby dividing the nation down the middle and ensuring longterm consequences for our society and economy, whereas owls are great. https://t.co/n6cj0Tgm7K

Where does Piers Morgan fit into this? Well, he decided to attack Rowling for her views. I guess it’s only fair since Rowling did technically attack someone first for their views. This time Morgan did bring up Trump. See, the arguments always come down to the two of them! This likely won’t be the end to this since the two can never seem to just agree to disagree.
Of course, this kind of elitist, superior, arrogant ‘we know better than you thickos’ bullsh*t is precisely why Brexit (and Trump) won. https://t.co/r3d8tZMYot
