Last night about 40 of us (cyclists) went to a pizza parlour in Ealing that had been smashed and looted. The hooligans smashed windows, stole an empty cash register, stole alcohol and the pizza toppings (!?). We couldn't think of a better way to help out than to give them enough trade to fill their coffers to the point that they could fix the broken windows, replace things, and far more importantly feel the goodwill of the community. The level of help being given is wonderful, and it's really small and personal stuff. That barber is an extreme example, but there is a real sense of people rallying around to protect their local small businesses and the people who run them.
