Where Are All The Right Wing Comedians?
You couldn't move for them in the 70s, but without resorting to Wikipedia, I would be hard-pressed to name a single successful one right now.
This stems from the ongoing Andrew Lawrence / Nigel Farage / Frankie Boyle spat:

Andrew Lawrence (a comedian whose work I am not familiar with) states:
The reason there are no right-leaning comics in this country is because whenever one has the balls to stand-up, they become the target of a witch-hunt. Where there should be balance, there is, terrifyingly, censorship.
Can there REALLY be some sort of conspiracy to keep right wing comedians off of all UK tv channels? I could have believed that back when we only had four channels - but right now, we have 480 (or more)!
Could it be that 'right wing humour' is the world's biggest oxymoron?

However, even that doesn't answer the mystery as to why UKIP supporters (or those who generally agree with their policies) are physically incapable of hearing any criticism be it serious or in joke form, without frothing at the mouth and whining about the awful unfairness of it all.
I can't ever recall a time when Lib/Lab/Con were so sensitive.
Can anyone explain that one?
Why are right wingers so prone to...
...hissy fits?

You've misread my post.

And why not try engaging in the discussion, rather than resorting to personal insults?
Why do you think there is such a lack of right wing comedians?
It can't possibly be a BBC thing, because it goes across all 480 UK channels.
Where are they?
