Did "El Presidente" keep his word??

A couple of weeks ago on the Jeremy Vine Show (BBC Radio 2) Tony Blair was being interviewed. One of the 'phone ins was from a military person serving in Iraq, complaining that the Service/Postal vote system had changed, many had not been informed in time, and were therefore disenfranchised.

Whereupon "TrustMeTone" said, "Don't worry, I'll look into it and personally ensure that they get their votes in time!!"

Well ..... did he?? Can't believe he'd make an empty promise

Notes:
1. Please do not let this deteriorate into a pro/anti war thread.
2. Journos who cruise this forum, please feel free to pick up on this!!
