1. About the Site
The Daily Prick is an opinion and commentary website that features individuals, groups, companies, public figures, and organisations who have attracted public attention for behaviour considered foolish, annoying, hypocritical, controversial, or otherwise worthy of discussion.
The site may include news commentary, opinion pieces, reader submissions, user votes, nominations, and satirical articles. Satirical content is clearly intended as humour or exaggerated commentary and should not be interpreted as factual reporting unless expressly presented as such.
2. No Defamation or Malice
Content on The Daily Prick is based on publicly available information, public statements, widely reported events, and reader submissions where appropriate.
A “Prick” designation is an opinion, not a factual claim that a person is a bad person, criminal, immoral, or unfit to participate in public life. We do not intend to defame, harass, bully, threaten, or cause harm to any individual or organisation.
If you believe any content about you or your organisation is inaccurate, misleading, unfair, or unlawful, please contact us using the details below. We will review legitimate complaints promptly and may amend, clarify, or remove content where appropriate.

- You grant The Daily Prick a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, edit, adapt, display, and distribute your submission in connection with the website.
We may edit, shorten, reject, or remove submissions at our sole discretion. Submission does not guarantee publication.
