JK Rowling has poked fun at a Welsh Police force who made a grammatical error on a tweet.
South Wales Police had posted a picture of a stand they had erected in Cardiff City Centre to promote work they had done working with LGBT+ people. Some police cars had also been given rainbow colouring.
As is often seen on any post promoting equality, some random, anonymous accounts took exception to this. Writing: "Stop virtue signalling and get on with your job. I’m sure folk would rather have those two cars patrolling the street. Embarrassing."

The response by the Welsh force was commendable apart from instead of writing "virtue signalling" they actually wrote virtual signaling. Their response read: "Good evening, supporting our communities is not virtual signalling and we make no apologies for doing so."
Harry Potter author JK Rowling, lightly poked fun at South Wales Police by tweeting a picture of their tweet with the line: "Virtual signalling. Like virtue signalling, but for people who aren’t really arsed. #VirtualSignalling". Some people added their own humorous reposes with Phil Davies writing: "It’s also what you used to get in Microsoft Train Simulator".
