Needs Updating[edit]

Leo Abse is, sadly, no longer a living person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.154.153 (talk) 11:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done – ukexpat (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources/References[edit]

I have added back the sources/references tags -- this article needs more than 2 sources and they must be out there somewhere. – ukexpat (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are two claims in the article that I can't find verification for elsewhere: that he condemned Labour MPs who supported the Arab cause in the Six Day War, and that he was in Spain at the end of the Spanish Civil War. Can anyone provide sources for these? BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:11, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
