Alex Descends into Stockwell

They have started playing classical music at the tube. They trialled it at Brixton station, and so successful was it at reducing crime, aggression, and unprovoked suspected terrorist shootings, they decided to introduce it everywhere. It's lost on me. If anything it makes the journey downwards seem like a holocaust movie, one of those ones where the descending masses accept their fate with stoical beauty, whilst a soprano sings out in the vanishing daylight. That's not how I want to start my day.
