History[edit | edit source]
The Daily Sceptic was launched in 2020, initially as a blog called "Lockdown Sceptics." The blog was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures implemented by the UK government. The publication aimed to provide a platform for voices critical of the lockdown policies and to question the scientific and political consensus surrounding the pandemic.
Content and Editorial Stance[edit | edit source]

The publication is known for its sceptical stance on mainstream narratives, particularly those related to public health measures, climate change, and government policies. It often features articles that challenge the prevailing views on these subjects and promotes open debate and discussion.
COVID-19 Coverage[edit | edit source]
One of the primary focuses of The Daily Sceptic has been the COVID-19 pandemic. The publication has been critical of lockdown measures, mask mandates, and vaccine passports. It has published articles questioning the efficacy of these measures and highlighting potential negative consequences.
Climate Change[edit | edit source]
The Daily Sceptic also covers issues related to climate change. The publication often features articles that question the scientific consensus on climate change and the policies proposed to address it. It promotes a sceptical view of the urgency and severity of climate change and advocates for a more balanced and open discussion on the topic.
Controversies[edit | edit source]
The Daily Sceptic has been a subject of controversy due to its sceptical stance on various issues. Critics have accused the publication of spreading misinformation and promoting conspiracy theories. Supporters, however, argue that it provides a necessary counterbalance to mainstream media narratives and encourages critical thinking.
