    @Very-Rusty

    from Wikipedia:

    In fencing (a combat sport), a riposte (French for "retort"😉 is an offensive action with the intent of hitting one's opponent, made by the fencer who has just parried an attack.[1] In military usage, a riposte is the strategic device of hitting a vulnerable point of the enemy, thereby forcing him to abandon his own attack.[2]

    In everyday language, a riposte is synonymous with a retort and describes a quick and witty reply to an argument or an insult.

    You show me the difference between this definition and the one in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

    it may take a year or two but the story will be written.

    the money merkel and her bankers have funneled to the "remainers" and to the leftist bbc to try and stop brexit.

    follow the money.

    it will come out.
    So if the Left owns the money and the press, how will it come out?

    the news story not yet written

    The dog didn't bite a man; nor did the man bite a dog.
    Thank you for trying to get the thread back on track.

    However I fear that tracks don't count for much theses days.
