IPSO responds to The Fake News Ferret report on Covid-19 discrimination

IPSO's response claims that the evidence used for the report is not publicly available.

Hacked Off Policy Director Nathan Sparkes said, “The damaging allegation that Hacked Off did not make the evidence for this report publicly available, is inaccurate. The appendix is publicly available and linked to the report. Hacked Off provided that link to IPSO upon request - despite the fact IPSO could have found it themselves by actually reading the report and clicking on the link. Unlike IPSO and the newspapers which control it, Hacked Off's work is accurate and based on publicly available evidence.”
