The majority of the references for this article trace back to the New Statesman, a blog for which the subject of the article is writer. If I can't find any alternative third party sources to verify the info I'm going to have to remove all the unsourced info and stub the entire article per WP:BLP. ponyo (talk) 19:02, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I removed some of the unsourced info and whatever material had been sourced to the blog Tallack writes for. I also added a couple of third party references for the remaining material. Jezebel'sPonyoshhh 20:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
