Now this is good social policy: Classical music is being piped into London Underground stations, and "yobbish behavior" has decreased by a third. Now correlation does not equal casuation, but I say push ahead and pipe it into the whole system. It is a civilizing enterprise.

But apparently it only plays at the ticket counters and waiting rooms, not the platforms. Says one LU manager, "We won't be linking this to platform speakers though - that's a captive audience and not everyone likes classical music."

To which I reply, too damn bad. Play it anyway.
