Michael is a lonely, rather pathetic writer, obsessed by the film, 'What A Carve Up!' in which a mad knifeman cuts his way through the inhabitants of a decrepit stately pile as the thunder rages.

members have a finger in every establishment pie, from arms dealing to art dealing, from politics to banking to the popular press and factory farming.
