Unlikely. We don't want to co-operate with our nearest
neighbours, so
why think a world wide agreement possible?

Well, they don't want to cooperate with us.

More like they refuse to be blackmailed by us.

Blackmail? Oh, do we have something on them that would allow us to

We know where all the EU MEPS offshore accounts are hosted?

I think Dave imagines that for us to stand up for our own interests is
somehow "blackmail" or is "racist" (to use childish socialist [1]
jargon).
