My Little Armalite

John Goode is a leftie lecturer who just wants to give his beloved wife and kids a normal life. You know: north London, good schools, nice neighbours, sash windows... yes, *you* know. But who can afford that kind of normal these days?

Goode can only daydream of becoming a television academic, or else of a bloody great economic crash that would make his job *worth* something again. So when he stumbles on a long-buried assault rifle whilst planting plum-trees for his children, he soon begins to wonder if this might be just the tool to seriously renegociate his family's future...
