If it trivialises or over-simplifies a complicated political issue, it irritates me. I'm right with ClintonHammond on There Were Roses, particularly when lisped by Cara Dillon in her little girl voice.

And I hate to say this because I admire Pete Morton greatly, but his song Two Brothers which depicts Israel and Palestine as a pair of badly-behaved kids has the same effect. "I don't care who started it..." is really not helpful.
