Internet power! Aaron Biber, the London riots and good causes

In all the drama of the London riots recently, something heartwarming to come out of it. It’s horrible hearing about rioting in the suburbs where we were visiting friends, only a year ago.

Aaron Biber is an 89 year-old man whose barber shop was ransacked by looters in Tottenham. They even took his kettle… adding insult to injury in a country where a good cup of “builders’ tea” solves most minor ills. (That this is included in the news report is not insignificant.)

Some love from the Reddit community and some interns at agency BBH.

Edit: They raised £35,000. Incredible.
