Happy Christmas to All Our Readers

Just a quick message to wish all our readers a Happy Christmas.

It’s been a year of hopes raised, hopes dashed, then hopes raised again – and I’m praying they’re not smashed again. We’ll know in a few days whether Boris has been able to keep his nerve in the face of the latest onslaught of pro-lockdown propaganda. I put the chances of a happy ending to this particular drama no higher than 50:50.

The site recorded its second-highest number of page views in its history on Thursday, clocking in at 121,287. I want to say thank you to all those readers who’ve stuck with us, and a hearty welcome to all the new ones. We’ve done our best to keep an even keel in these turbulent seas, maintaining a healthy scepticism about the official Covid narrative, while not embracing the wilder claims of the anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine activists. Call it trying to stay between two Piers – Piers Morgan and Piers Corbyn.

A special thank you to all those readers who’ve donated to the site in the past 12 months. Without your generosity we wouldn’t have been able to keep it going. Many of you have told us that the site has helped to keep them sane. I think I speak for all of us when I say that maintaining this site and keeping up a steady flow of sceptical analysis – laced with humour, where appropriate – has kept us sane, too.

Please excuse a lower-than-average output over the next few days. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Stop Press: The above post and the two below were written on Christmas Day. The reason they’re included in the today’s daily update is because the site went down shortly after it appeared and didn’t go up again until around 6pm on Boxing Day.

Welcome back!

A BIG up to Tobes, Will, Luke and Noah plus all the many DS contributors who have continued the fight against this rolling dumbed-down authoritarianism.

Bonus points to Delingpole for fantastic podcasts that regularly top up resistance morale.
The Daily Sceptic throughout 2021 has remained a beacon of light with its alternate science discourse… a narrative challenging voice to all those negatively affected by the ongoing collateral damages of lockdowns, restrictions and those who stand up against the illiberal and unethical vaccine passports.

The fight ahead will be long and hard, this particular Christmas is the time to recharge, regroup and be refreshed to taking it full-on against the GPPP agenda in the New Year.

Merry Christmas to you all, apart from the bedwetting normies…

The article’s picture? Oh my God.

Is it a Freudian slip on the part of the author? Or a subtle threat to all the down-the-rabbit-hole readers that visit this site as to where they might be in a few months’ time?

Here’s the Archbishop of Canterbury on Rumble, and I think it’s a pretty good description of who he really is. 

When you look at these people from the rabbit-hole, you see them as they really are.

Were somewhere between The Archbishop of Canterbury and Bill Gates, in terms of keeping it real 😉

Piers Morgan is arguably one of Gods lowest ever creations. To use that POS as a benchmark for your site is to set the bar of integrity very, very low. Take one of the biggest disingenuous shills ever to disgrace UK television and say were like that. Have some taste, have some manners.

I cannot let this day pass without adding my voice of thanks to Toby and the team. We’ve had another tough year but I sense the public mood is slowly turning and we’ll emerge victorious in 2022. In the meantime, here’s wishing everyone above the line and below the line all the very best for the season. Cheers.

the wilder claims of the anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine activists Can you define what you actually mean by this. For example, we have seen strong evidence from multiple credible sources that they are putting nanotech into the vials. Literally chipping people without their knowledge, making these jabs a defacto manifestation of The Mark of The Beast. I think we all believe the efforts of Reiner Fuellmich and Viviene Fischer and Doctors For Covid Ethics and Sucharit Bhakdi to be genuine and sincere. They (the Corona Committee) have presented evidence of nanotech in the vials…. The first people (to my knowledge) to show photographic evidence of the nanotech in the vials came from the Corona Committee in Germany. The pathologist who sat on that panel and gave evidence also featured in the recent Doctors For Covid Ethics symposium, and testified to the fact he had examined a body and found clear widespread evidence of autoimmunity in the vaxxd – killer lymphocytes attacking different parts of the body and organs. So these are very serious people who have EARNED our respect showing us this evidence. THIS IS MASSIVE. THERE IS SERIOUS EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE PUTTING NANOTECH IN THE VIALS. So why ignore… Read more »

Toby, good to see you are back. I don’t always agree with your perspective on this so-called pandemic, but your site is vital and being willing to agree to disagree is sometimes necessary.

Having said that, might I suggest that “the wilder claims of the anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine activists” have largely been proven correct so far. A year ago, anyone suggesting that they might consider implementing vaccine passports or mandatory vaccination would have been dismissed as a loon.

Heartfelt thanks to Toby, Will, Noah, Luke and everyone else who has contributed articles of sanity and rational analysis in a world of madness. Who would have believed the madness would continue so long? The daily email is my first and essential read every day, and an absolute lifeline. Can’t thank you enough.

I have read and contributed small amounts of money from the outset in March 2020 and I do earnestly thenk Toby for this excellent Newsletter. He has been faced with some very unpleasant adversaries but supported by some excellent and in some cases, brave contributors.

The bad one I would like to pick out because he should know better is Neil O’Brien MP who set up a website to combat what he called anti Covid and anti vaxxers including Prof Sunetra Gupta, one of the world’s leading epidermiologists. For a man who has no medical training and occupies an important post, I think his actions have been despicable.

May I join many others in saying what a fantastic job Toby and his team have done and I do hope his marriage and the redoubtable Caroline has come through happily!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my fellow purebloods and sceptics. I’m expecting to be in prison Christmas 2022 so will see you there.

The fact that those words are even spoken ”.. have to keep his nerve.” He’s supposed to be a LEADER, for crying out loud! What a lily-livered piece of work he is.
I don’t care who is pulling his strings – it’s about time he stopped dancing.

This site has kept me sane. I have suffered hateful abuse and even been shunned by various (now) ex-friends due to my sceptical attitude towards the way the world has responded to this pathogen.

Can’t talk about it to my husband or family. Can’t talk about it to any acquaintances. By chance I was put on to the site “Lockdown Sceptics” site by someone in my Italian group to whom I owe so many thanks. Until then, my sense of total isolation was so great it was causing me mental problems. That, I think, has been what Sage, Johnson etc have wanted – to keep us isolated from each other, to convince us that we were mad to think as we do. I don’t hold out much hope for it, but I’m hoping that the public enquiry will reveal all the lies we ‘ve been told. I wish you happy new year and hope you know that you’re not alone

Thanks to sites like this you’ve been a real godsend in helping to keep us sane when everyone else seemed to be losing their minds.

A Happy Christmas to all who read this, and a happy, successful, unmasked and free New Year. Thank you to all who have contributed – down here in the South Hams there is no one on my wavelength and it’s only the “Lockdown Sceptics” and Daily Sceptics who have kept me from throwing myself off the nearest cliff. Can’t even mention it to my husband or family.
