Songs to Play on the Drive Home to See Your Family

(Whom You Love, But Will Inevitably Get Into A Political Argument With)

Going home the best! Home cooked food, meeting up with your parents (whom you love, of course), catching up with all your childhood friends / stuffies. It’s the best!

But all of the sudden, halfway down the motorway you remember something. Something that was lodged in your memory, that you tried your best to forget.

The parental political argument.

What if your parents want to talk about The Wall? Or The NHS? What if they offer their unsolicited opinions on Elizabeth Warren or AOC? What are you going to do, not say anything? That’s ethically wrong! Not that there’s much point, the last argument lasted eight hours and resulted in several hurt feelings and several burnt roast potatoes.

It’s too late to turn back, so enjoy these tunes [listen here on Spotify] as you drive towards an inevitable argument.
