Really getting into the masters #snooker final. Muttering about whether he can canon on to the pink or screw back for the black like I know what I’m talking about. And our two pasty-faced heroes #Murphy and #Wilson - so smart in black tie (sort of). Is snooker the new darts?

It’s 40 years tonight since the #Bhopal gas disaster in India, when a leak of poisonous gas from Union Carbide’s factory killed hundreds then and thousands since. Now a largely ignored tragedy, the effects linger in chronic illness and birth defects. Remember Bhopal this evening 🙏🕯️❤️
