Russia have loads of oil and gas going cheap and plenty of it.

I thought the Baht Buses were part of a cooperative and all the takings were pooled therefore why does it matter who picks what passengers up ?

Definitely not a non white thing but people were convinced there were people from other EU countries taking their jobs.
