James Tyrrell has gone mum

Published: February 24, 2009 at 7:28pm

James Tyrrell of Northern Ireland and Gozo, one of Astrid Vella’s knights in shining armour at the forefront of the campaign to sabotage the St John’s museum project, is refusing to answer a simple question.

Is he the same James Tyrrell of Northern Ireland and Gozo who fought so hard for the No vote in the EU membership campaign?

I know that he is, but I want to hear it from him. When people behave like prize a**-holes (sorry to lower the tone, but there’s no description more fitting), I can’t resist feeding their crap right back to them.

This is the question I and another have addressed directly to him, repeatedly, in the midst of one or other of his internet-warrior-for-Astrid frenzies on www.timesofmalta.com:

Are you the same James Tyrrell who campaigned against EU membership for Malta? I believe this point is of great relevance, given that the museum was to be an EU-funded project, and that one of the persons on the foundation board was the EU negotiator.

The coward backed off. Given that James Tyrrell of Northern Ireland and Gozo reads this blog, perhaps he would like to post his answer here. And next time, Astrid, make sure your co-campaigners are genuine and free of ulterior motives. In other words, make sure they aren’t ‘flawed’.

    So what if he is the same James Tyrrell who campaigned against EU membership? We know what that tells you, but what does it tell us? You think he’s a coward, but I think he’s simply ignoring you.

    [Daphne – He’s not ignoring me, cuddles. He’s replied to every other point I’ve made and every question I’ve asked, except the one that embarrasses him. His stance on Europe tells us huge amounts about what kind of axe he’s grinding here. You refuse to see it yourself, given your own anti-EU membership stance.]

    Oh, it’s about the axe he grinds. I see. Yes, that says a lot. Anti-membership = non compus mentis, ergo pro-FAA, con sequitur, et al… amen. You can even write it mathemetically, if you like; or in three words: bad, bad man.

    [Daphne – You’re being bloody-minded on purpose, I imagine. Clearly, the only conspiracies in which you believe involve the Twin Towers, George Bush, and international banking.]

    Mr Tyrrell, please reply to the lady. Tell her you are not embarrassed that you have an axe to grind… I mean, that you chose to support the No side. You can teach her a thing or two about the Lisbon treaty too, but not about the FAA.

    Who gives prizes to flawed a**-holes? Gawd, that must hurt.

    ..you forgot the gerbil, Daphne.

    [Daphne – Istja!]
