Not Convincing
Referring to the Afghan "election" for which our boys died and are dying, Jeremy Vine remarked that "Putin was not convincingly elected", either. Tell me, Jeremy, I know you're Hatfield and I know you used to edit Palatinate, but even so, you might know this: was it Putin (not now the President, as you do not appear to know), or was it Saakashvili, who managed a Soviet-style ninety-seven per cent of the vote? Or is that you definition of "convincing"?
I didnt actually know Vine was "Durham". George Alagiah was "Durham"
