i currently have this nested list
[[u'Alice Mee', 3], [u'Alice Mee', 4], [u'adam plowman', 1], [u'james pirret', 2]]

[[u'Alice Mee'], [u'Alice Mee'], [u'adam plowman'], [u'james pirret']]
the list is populated dynamically and will always change size, therefore the removeal method needs to be dynamic to
