After what feels like quite a long time, we’ve given the Daily Sceptic a facelift. We’re flagging up our latest articles on the home page in thumbnail form and instead of archiving the most important articles on the right-hand side of the home page under various headings we’ve created a separate ‘Archive’ page that will be easier to navigate. In place of that old right-hand menu we’ve created an easy way for readers to select our ‘Most Read’ articles, ‘Most Commented’ on, and ‘Editors Picks’.
We continue to be grateful for all of your donations, particularly those of you who donate regularly, and we encourage those who haven’t donated before, or who haven’t done so recently, to please do so via our secure donation page.
But, alas, the Daily Sceptic cannot survive on donations alone. The company now has four employees, as well as legal bills, accountancy bills and other costs, so if we’re going to make it sustainable over the long term we need to find additional sources of revenue.
One change you’ll soon notice, therefore, is that the Daily Sceptic has advertising. We’ve worked with our designer and sales agent to make sure the ads are as unobtrusive as possible and we hope they won’t affect your reading experience. But given the amount of monthly page views the site gets – more than 1.3 million last month – we should be able to generate enough money to cover the cost of at least one employee via programmatic advertising.
In addition, we’ve decided to ask for a small donation from people who want to comment on articles below the line or post in our Forums. Henceforth, if you’d like to contribute to the Daily Sceptic in this way you’ll need to donate at least £5 via our secure donation page, at which point you’ll be able to comment or post as often as you like for the next 31 days. If you’ve already donated at least £5 in the last 31 days there’ll be no need to give any more – the system will recognise you as an authorised contributor when you log in provided you use the same email address when donating as you did when you created a log in – and if you haven’t created a log in yet, but have donated more than £5 in the last 31 days, you’ll automatically become an authorised contributor as soon as you do create one. Incidentally, if you’re someone who wants to comment or post regularly, the best way to avoid being prompted to donate again after 31 days is to set up a recurring donation for at least £5 a month.
Alternatively, if you donate at least £50 you’ll be able to comment or post for 12 months. If you’ve already donated something in the last 12 months, but less than £50, just top-up your donation to at least £50 and you’ll be able to comment until the amount you’ve donated in the past year drops below £50, at which point you’ll have to top it up again. If you’re unsure how much you’ve donated in the past year, just search for “Donorbox” in your email inbox.
If you’ve made a donation and are still unable to comment, check that the email address you used when setting up a log in is the same one you used when donating. If it isn’t, you can change the one you used to log in with and that should solve the problem. If that doesn’t work, try logging out and logging back in again – and if that doesn’t work, try clearing your cache.
We hope these two minor changes won’t annoy you. The alternative way of raising additional revenue would be to put our articles behind a paywall, but that would be self-defeating. Sceptical points of view on issues like lockdowns, vaccines and climate change are so rare we don’t want to limit people’s exposure to them by charging for our content. The entire reason for creating the site in the first place was to provide a platform for scientifically-literate, evidence-based views that are usually suppressed in the mainstream media so it’s important that all our content remains free to access.
We’re still doing the daily update every day, including the News Round-Up, which you can get straight to your inbox every morning at 4am – just enter your name and email address here. That service is still free. The daily update can also be viewed online by clicking here.
If you find anything isn’t working properly, or can think of ways to improve the new site, please email us on thedailysceptic@gmail.com. That’s also the address to use if you spot anything you think we should dig into further or include in the daily round-up – or if you’d like to submit articles, reply to those we’ve published or correct any mistakes. We’re grateful to our readers for their continuing support, whether it’s a monthly donation, a link to an interesting article or simple words of appreciation, and we hope the redesign will make the site easier to read and navigate.

We are paying the wages of these despicable arseholes.
The Davos Deviants are taking the world to hell in an EV and useless, grubby leeches like Charlotte are concerned that the dead might be given the wrong pronoun. I strongly doubt that even the bloody dead would G a F about how they should be addressed as the hearse carries them away. Even if they were able.
I am bloody furious that the wan#ers in Parliament can be so conceited as to believe this subject is worthy of discussion even over a cup of tea in one of their subsidised cafes. Is this glorified idiot of a retard not aware how utterly, depressingly stupid she sounds to the decent people currently occupying this country?
And whoever was Speaker at the time this matter was raised should hang their head in shame for the sheer insult this subject and this woman has given to the British people.
Nuke the damned lot of them.
Unbelievable!
Thanks Freddy
Next time, why not say what you really think of them!!
I hope to God such an asinine commentary is not repeated by this lazy, corrupt, idiotic cohort of sheer deplorables, disgracing the decent people of this country.
Bravo, hux!
What a disgusting sign of the times and a shocking indictment of the state of British politicians if they’re even seeing fit to raise such a non-issue and utter bilge in parliament. As if there’s nothing more pressing going on right now, effecting every man, woman and child in society than talking about this complete bloody garbage! Talk about priorities.. 
Thanks Mogs
If there is a bolder, brighter, more in our faces way to confirm how much these rank nobodies could affirm their sheer ignorance I hope I never have to see it.
If there is a more obvious way of ramming their contempt of their employers down our throats we are fortunate to have not yet witnessed it.
Surely to God a more sick and deplorable crew of unemployables could ever be gathered together under one roof.
As a defining moment that surely demands the abolition of this caricature of a parliament and democracy this must be it.
For pity’s sake please let this be the nadir.
Sadly, I think these insane nobody’s can and will sink yet further, in ways we just can’t yet fathom.
Not fit to run a bath, and the US is even worse!
Go go go——-You must have a had a power breakfast his morning. ——That was certainly one of your best and most invigorating tirades my friend
Thanks varmint.
Top class HP!!
Thanks Spycatcher.
Funnier than the “Dead Parrot” sketch. ——–“Can I help you at all?——I’ve come to change me parrots gender”—“But it looks like it might be dead sir”————“Nope it’s alive and just sleeping and he wants to be a girl” ——-“I am afraid your LGBT parrot is deceased sir, it’s gone to meet it’s maker”——“But it wants to wear a dress”——“But how does it know it wants to wear a frock if it’s dead”?
Very good
There is no such thing as a “transgender person”. There are men and women, some of whom choose to claim they are the opposite sex to their actual sex.
Exactamondo. There’s male, female then confused/mentally ill. I think there’s a lot of normalising of mental illness and anti-social behaviour going on nowadays, which would not have been tolerated years gone by. And yes, transsexuals have always been with us and they’ve never been any bother or been plastered all over the news, but it’s like now there’s a new breed and they’re a danger to kids and a threat to society as a whole. Now any old pervert man can don a dress, proclaim he’s a *she* just so he can gain access to the women’s changing room or enter a female sports event. That shit never used to happen. Craziness…
SSSHHHHHHHH ——You will be dragged to the Gender Race Equality Diversity and Climate Gulag
She’s not a looker, and cow dung for brains.
Maybe she will look better dead and she can then go on the Dead People Dating Site.
Why doesn’t the stupid b**ch read new the WHO treaty and amendments that are going to toss away our sovereign rights to the WHO and the cronies that control it and do something about that instead of pissing away her time on stupid delusional crap that affects a minuscule percentage of people and even then is straight out of Alice in Wonderland?
And then they wonder why people’s opinion of politicians is low.
Nice one Stewart.
Such an unfortunate photo suggesting an irreversible brain implant.
I.D.G.A.F who you think you are. You could claim to be a flying unicorn for all I care, but once you impose your views over mine, we will most certainly clash. Guaranteed.
And I won’t crumble.
Much love.
Your lifelong, implacable & impertinent opponent.

In order to avoid being an outlier in the political class, the Conservative Party will now claim this Labour MP is being extreme. The Tories will propose, instead, a regulator to ensure the corpse cannot make this change less than 2 days nor more than 6 weeks after death and a fee has to be paid. Furthermore, it will absolutely be prohibited to make two changes; only one is to be allowed.
I fear we will all be requyired to change our gender and at that point I’m leaving.
Maybe helpline for the dead where they can be advised best how to look wearing a frock in their urn.
‘course they can. All they need to do is complete form XA96a and the record will be changed forever – or until either one of their children complete form XA96b or their parents complete XA96c. If both forms XA96b and XA96c are submitted then whichever was submitted first will be deemed invalid. In cases where multiple copies of XA96b are completed they will be weighted by the ratio of numbers of children (acknowledged or not) of the deceased to numbers of acknowledged parents.
Of course, if there is a valid marriage certificate it will need to be amended and substituted with a retrospective civil partnership certificate. In its absence any pension entitlements which the deceased accrued will revert to any surviving parents or grandparents or to the deceased’s dog or to the state.
Simple.
Marvellous
This article has disappeared

What article?
I see no article…
Crikey tof. What’s going on?
A glitch in the matrix…
They’re coming…
Run!
Thank you – I thought I was going doolally (if that’s not offensive to the doolally community).
Methinks the legal department of the Prem might have been in touch.
Looks like it – as per below, article has disappeared from Telegraph.
Look forward to hearing from DS as to what’s going on there.
Yep ——–Toby come clean mate. ——-I notice the article about the Newcastle fan is still there though.
Has the Telegraph article (to which it referred) suffered the same fate?
Good spot – yes!
I would put on her tombstone. Here lies a man with two ar*eholes.
People cannot pay their mortgage or their energy bill. They are being treated like aliens in their own country and our daughters will soon have to wear a headscarf to school. We have men being told it is ok to use the womens loo. We are governed by a political class of WEF and UN lackeys, yet here is a squirming twerp worrying about the rights of dead people. ——-Are there actually any votes in that by the way?
Cool! The bishops can then remember Jesus of Nazareth as a transgender Person of the Trinity, alongside God our Mother, on account of the description of Him wearing ankle-length female attire, ‘tied under the paps’ (Revelation.i.13).
I started a list of things that are important to get fixed. I got to 50 and this still doesn’t make the list!
Brilliant idea. I intend to declare I’m still alive after I’ve “passed” and carry on claiming my pensions.
