The Bhopal Disaster, one of the worst ever industrial accidents, has somehow bypassed my attention for my entire life. How could an explosion of pesticide that killed over 20,000 Indians have slipped my notice? Is it because the victims were poor and Indian? I am shocked at my ignorance and delighted that a charity bike ride will be pedalling through India to Bhopal to raise funds and awareness for this tragically ignored tragedy.

Try this for perspective (Private Eye put me onto it):
a US company is responsible for the deaths of 20,000 people, poisons an ecosystem and its wildlife for years, resists all attempts to pay adequate compensation then settles for $480m 5 years later.
a US/ UK company is responsible for the deaths of 11 people, poisons an ecosystem and its wildlife for years, admits full liability and is forced under threat of nationalisation to set up a $20bn compensation fund.
