A comment on European Parliament: UK and US are global hubs for money laundering, tax evasion. Parent comment

OP in this thread is basically saying that EU should not point fingers toward other nations when they have enough clean-up to do at home. I am arguing that EU, while flawed in its execution of that duty, is actively doing just that. What exactly do you think I am saying?

I think you're exactly implying that this lone anecdote constitutes a good measure by which the EU is "doing more" than the UK or the USA and therefore would not be hypocritical by pointing the finger.

Why do you bring forth this straw man argument?

If that's not what you are implying then what was the point of the comment in the first place?

To give a partial retort of OP:s assertion.

It isn't even a partial retort because no part of the OP's point relies on there being no instances of attempts to improve things. And even if it did then you could take counter-examples for the UK and USA as well.
