judging by this morning's headlines, it is now open season on balloons - Rishi Sunak has pledged the RAF will shoot them down on sight

I can imagine the carnage that will follow, what with it being Valentines Day today - all those romantic flights for two in a hot air balloon ruined as an exocet tears through the fabric, armed police storming children's birthday parties, and the bloodshed at clubs and raves as snipers headshot ravers huffing on their noz...
