A number of aliases – can’t he make up his mind who he is?
Erin Tanti – his real name – goes by the name Erin Stewart Tanti on Facebook, putting his mother’s surname before his father’s. To perform on stage, he calls himself Erin Stuart Palmier, changing his mother’s surname to the royal form of Stuart and taking Palmier from the surname/laqam of his father’s extended family, Tanti Palmier.
On Linked In, he becomes Éire Stuart – which means that were it not for the accompanying photograph, you wouldn’t know it was the same person. His self-description is ridiculous – and reveals what he wants to be and how he wishes to be seen, rather than the reality.
Éire Stuart’s Experience
Freelance Actor, Director and Writer
2005 – Present (9 years)
Contractual or otherwise, acting with a variety of groups, troupes, companies and other independant (sic) actors, in both amateur and professional contexts – however with a staunch agenda for what sort of work is often accepted. Directing credits following suit – past experience is notoriously peppered with performances aimed at instigating debate, challenging the status quo and tackling the taboo in arrays often bordering on an artistic political activism.

Staunch agenda?
Oh, that’s poetic licence.
Perhaps he meant “ulterior motive”.
The greatest form of psychosis is the person who is in search of an identity having lost or disclaimed his real own self.
In Malta there are many people who have transposed maternal or better-sounding surnames to “hide” their real one.
This is ultimately a matter of principle: a father’s son’s son’s son’s etc etc son should have the same root surname. The root is your “gens” in terms of Roman law.
Any other surname is one “of pretence” (usually the “pretence” is a claim of proven inheritance). By appending, you’re still acknowledging your root surname because that’s the first surname.
In a simplified way:- It’s OK to append but it is not OK to pretend your mother/grandmother’s surname is your father’s.
In this way someone called Cassar Borg Agius Zammit might have as grandparents Cassar (paternal) Borg (paternal grandmother) Agius (maternal grandfather) Zammit (maternal grandmother).
He could add on several hundred surnames or even call himself Cassar Zammit for short, but his/her real surname should still be Cassar, not Borg or Agius or Zammit, nor anything else.
In Tanti Palmier Stuart’s case his real surname will always remain Tanti. If he says otherwise then it’s another sad case of what he wants to be and how he wishes to be seen, rather than the reality.
In his resume, he forgot ” part -time anti -censorship activist” in cahoots with his best buddies Mark Camilleri of Gieh ir-Repubblika fame and equally erudite and enlightened Alex Vella Gera.
People like these have the last word in deciding the sort of text books that end up in the educational curriculum of our children and grandchildren in today’s Libertine, I mean , Liberal -anything -goes Malta.
This slimebag made it to the OPM for some exclusive meeting to propagate his attacks on taboo.
They’ll tell us they weren’t aware he carried these dark secrets, that the war on censorship was necessary to liberate society from the clutches of that Mark Camilleri’s bourgeoisie.
Guess what, if the defence registered on this blog was anything to go by, the underclass rules.
He has another profile on Linked-in:

What is he sitting on? A pink toilet bowl in the middle of the room?
Given his self-decleration of ‘artistic political activism’, one should ask what was Erin Tanti’s role during the last MLP campaign and before? Was his role significant, and in that context, Joseph Muscat had a meeting with him in Castille?
Lock him up and throw away the key. Before he kills again…..
It is a great pity that he did not “tackle the taboo” of sending a schoolgirl he loved but was leaving by sending her over a cliff after filling her with alcohol and aspirin.
This guy should be caged.
Does the Tanti-Palmier coat- of- arms feature an ice-cream cone and a Mr Whippy type van?
The paragraph is “notoriously peppered” with pompous buzzwords and phrases that are actually meaningless.
Delusional
Even worse, he can’t string a sentence together. The first part of that self-description, up to “contexts” is extremely clunky. The rest makes no sense whatsoever.
What in God’s name is a “staunch agenda”? And “however” used to join sentences, where “but” should be used? It’s a Maltese linguistic deficiency on which I intend to write an entire tome in my declining years.
“Following suit”?
“Notoriously peppered”?
“The” taboo?
“Arrays”?
“Often bordering on an [huh?] artistic political activism”?
You see, the problem isn’t Tanti. After all, this country is knee deep in linguistically challenged graduates and professionals. The problem is whoever let him get through the filter and gave him a teaching job. And I don’t just mean the school. He was teaching drama with Masquerade before he ever became a supply teacher.
You could say the same of the university from which he graduated.
He was also Erin Tanti Stewart, the lyricist – http://www.clairemccartin.com/singer/2010/03/12/ole-satchmo-blues/
