It certainly is. It kicked off here before I left work to go home last night. Thankfully I didn't know that at the time. I'm sitting here in central Birmingham feeling slightly scared, wanting to go home and unable to really concentrate on stuff.
Regarding the causes I feel that the criminal aspects have overwhelmed the genuine reasons of the initial uprising. From what I can tell (mostly BBC news reports and Twitter) it's descended into people looting shops for consumer goods, booze and money.
At the moment I think it'll happen again this evening, but probably fizzle out on Wednesday: it's due to rain then apparently.
