JK Rowling lashed out at Britain\u2019s departure again, writing in an angry tweet: \u201cI swear to God I’m trying not to bang on about Brexit but for f**k\u2019s sake, every time I come out of my writing room and look at the news some more dumbassery has been committed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n I swear to God I’m trying not to bang on about #Brexit<\/a> but for FUCK’S SAKE, every time I come out of my writing room and look at the news some more dumbassery has been committed.
