I know this probably isn't the best Subreddit in which to pose this question, I've already asked it in /r/Ask_Politics, but I'm hoping to take advantage of /r/AskHistorians much larger subscriber base.
Does anyone know anything about the term 'und Alvourinhen'?
I came across it while reading the Wikipedia page about the Iraq Dossier which was used by the Blair government to justify the invasion of Iraq. In the article Blair's Director of Communications and Strategy, Alistair Campbell, is referred to as his "und Alvourinhen Director of Communications and Strategy."
Any attempts to google to term merely return that same line from the Wikipedia article verbatim and do not explain what it means.
I've tried Google Translate, but it only recognises the word 'und' as German for 'and', something I knew already. I thought 'Alvourinhen' possibly sounded Portuguese, but that returned nothing.
I like to consider myself fairly well versed in British politics, I actually study it at university, but this is something I've never heard of before. Any thoughts?
I don't know if meant anything to the user adding it, but it's just vandalism. It was added last month by a user without an account whose only other edits have been vandalism. If something makes no sense on wikipedia it can be a good idea to check the page history.
