BBC N24 said it was 4.7 on the Richter scale, (though I heard that only reporters still use that) and it started near Hull.

No doubt the Greenies will be quacking about it being caused by global warming, causing Red Ken to bring in a 'Tax the 4x4's more because the weight of them causes earthquakes' charge and the Government will set up a 'Respect for Earthquakes Thinktank'.

Actually, natural Climate Change (but not that which is happening over the last 150 years that everyone agrees or disagrees with), IS the main cause of earthquakes in Northern Europe, due to Post-Glacial Rebound.
It takes many tens of thousands of years for the crust to return to the shape it had before an ice age.
Here's Wikipedia, but rely more on the reference links off that site.
