I think a similarly high profile 'right to reply' would be in order.
99.99% of the people reading the 'right to reply' will not have seen the
original story, and 99.99% of people who saw the original story will not see
the right to reply...

So don't directly mention the original story in the 'right to reply' - just
say how wonderful 'mysociety' is, and mention in passing that it is financed
by public contributions (of time and money) and is jealously independant so
would not disclose any data unless obliged by law etc...

A google on "You are a disgrace (including all the other honourable
members)" (having uniquely weird grammar) shows mail, telegraph and guardian
from MSM.

Paul /)/+)

ps. looking further I have just seen the guaridan story is about the
mysociety denial! pump that publicity!!
