Who gets to tell the story when there are biscuits?

Well, the idea is that having the biscuits gives someone the authority or opportunity to be the storyteller. Maybe it's a fun game or a quirky tradition where this rule applies.

It means that the person who is in a position of power or has some advantage (represented by the biscuits) is the one who can control the narrative or tell the story as they like. For example, in a company, if someone has a lot of resources (the biscuits), they can influence how the story of a project is told, whether it's a success story or a failure story.

Sure. In a business negotiation, if one company has a monopoly on a certain product (the biscuits), they can tell the story of how the market should operate. They can set the price and influence the public perception of the product's value.

Well, it is a common saying in the sense that it is used to illustrate the idea that those with control or resources are in a position to define the story. It might not be as widespread as some well - known proverbs, but in certain fields like business, media, and social sciences, it is often used to explain power dynamics and the construction of narratives.

Well, it could be a story about two people who bond over their shared love for biscuits. Maybe they first met at a bakery while reaching for the same box of biscuits. And from that moment, their relationship started to grow as they shared biscuits on various occasions.

Since we have no details about the 'busted can of biscuits story', it's difficult to say who told it. It could be a neighbor who was chatting over the fence about a mishap in their kitchen. Or perhaps it was a person working in a food factory who had an incident with a can of biscuits on the production line and shared their story with colleagues, which then spread further.

Anyone with a genuine understanding and respect for the black experience could potentially tell such a story.

It means that the person who is in control or has the resources (represented by 'the biscuits' in a rather metaphorical way) gets to decide how the story is told. For example, in a business meeting, if someone has all the data (the biscuits), they can present the situation in a way that suits them.

Governments and military officials might have a say too, but their accounts could be influenced by political and strategic considerations. Different people bring different viewpoints to shape the narrative of the Afghanistan War.

I don't know for sure as I haven't read it, but I'd guess there are probably dogs as the main characters.
