narrative

[Jonathan Lighter]

In the recent sense of "propaganda story; partisan version of events, etc."

This morning David Cameron expressed hope that young people in the Arab
world will not listen to "the poisonous narrative of terrorism."

To the elderly, that would mean that knowing the history of terrorism is
poisonous.

Cameron also observed that the Taliban "is on the back foot" in Afghanistan,
i.e., "on the defensive; at a disadvantage."
I think.
