IN THE real world, Chinese lanterns are being let up into the sky, causing injuries/death to our farm animals and fires in hay ricks or homes.

BBC 2, living in their superficial world, on the Human Universe programme with Brian Cox as commentator, showed a whole lot of lanterns being let up into the night sky. Surely they must be made to show some sense of responsibility. Also, was Brian Cox a willing participant in encouraging this very dangerous sloppy practice?
