I think there's quite a lot of comedians who would class as libertarian which can overlap with right wing, as in the 4 way political compass rather than a left-right spectrum.

Eg George Carlin
The thing is, political satire is always mostly aimed at the current government. (though of course, the last Labour leader was a major source of material too). The reason this government's getting it worse than most is that they're really really bad, not because the BBC's full of communists. You can't have the PM literally hide in a fridge and complain when people take the piss, it's a price of your own behaviour.
Except of course you can.
I think the phrase "Political Satire is Dead" was coined after Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace prize.
Looking at who is running the country now, if Henry Kissinger killed political satire then this lot have killed it, dug the corpse up, shot it, cut it and half and buried it again in an unmarked grave.
I'm not going to mourn the loss of the Mash Report because it was amazing and I really miss it. I'll mourn its loss if it's the start of the BBC removing stuff from broadcast because it embarrasses the government.
Eagerly watched most of the first series but it was just terrible
This.
Hopefully channel 4 will pick it up. V funny show.
Looks like Dave have picked it up. New series in September.
It was on last night (although as its Dave it'll be repeated). Good show, more of the same, a few digs about the move to Dave, a bit more sweary and they went after the government a bit harder. Maybe suits the channel better, just a shame they were forced out from a mainstream channel.
