Yet UK authorities recently conducted earthquake drills
in preparation for a scale 8 quake
WHAT do they know ?
WHAT have they planned ?

Actually, I've just realised, it's April 1st

And as this is the Fragile Earth forum - intended for more serious rather than purely conjectual - discussion, I think we really do need to call jameshawkings out and ask him for actual evidence to support his contention that someone is planing a major earthquake off the Cumbrian coast.
As far as I can determine he's made it all up?
Otherwise move it to Skunkworks.

What a load of crap, so if anyone disagrees with a persons post we have to be suspicious of them, no matter how ill thought out the original post is? That's just as bad as saying anyone who disagrees with the government is a traitor, both of which are totally ridiculous statements.
people here make posts and and everyone jumps on the band wagon, there have always been minor earthquakes in the UK
Blackpool 2008
Blackpool 2009
Just to be accurate - that 2009 earthquake had its epicenter in Cumbria, but was felt in Blackpool.
I was born and raised in Blackpool, but left in 2007. All I can say is in 25 years living there I never felt a single quake or tremor (I wish I did). So, either I can sleep through anything or this is a recent phenomena in the area.

Sellafield reactors have been known to be unprotected against quakes since the 70's. Its only recently dampeners have been places around the core to absorb any P-Waves from threatening the interior structure. However all of the UK is criss-crossed by ancient faults and subglacial quakes which can occur anywhere along our landmass.
So far Sellafield has recently been hit by 2 localised quakes and a major quake from afar and done well. That's not to say though that any of Lake District faults may rupture a event +6 on the scale.

Are you [SNIP]ing serious?!?!?
I'm in Cleveleys, UK (4-5 miles north of Blackpool, in Wyre, very close to Singleton, which is just over the River Wyre from Thornton, the other half of the small town Thornton-Cleveleys), I live metres from the shoreline, under sea level, protected by just a sea wall.
A study of seismic activity near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport by researchers from SMU and UT-Austin reveals that the operation of a saltwater injection disposal well in the area was a "plausible cause" for the series of small earthquakes that occurred in the area between October 30, 2008, and May 16, 2009.
We aren't on a fault line, but neither is Manchester (my real hometown), and they get quakes without this fracking bull[SNIP]
After the Japan Tsunami David Cameron defended Nuclear Energy plans
The UK is not prone to serious earthquakes and nor are we subject to regular tsunamis.
David Cameron is of course right that the UK isn't prone to earthquakes, but in which case why the recent Earthquake drills in the UK? A lot of money is being spent on these
No, it "isn't", see my post above, because Manchester DOES get them pretty regularly.
This is crazy, as I'm writing this post now, I was just looking for a link to give you and I've just discovered that there was an Earthquake in Blackpool today Small earthquake hits Blackpool The epicentre was in the sea, practising for a Tsunami?
Yep, heard a bit of a rumble, felt a bit of a shake, but it was pretty weak.
Where could they hit with a Tsunami from that area to cause damage? Sellafield! www.no2nuclearpower.org.uk... If you're someone who doesn't know the UK well, first look for Liverpool and Manchester, then move up along the coast and you'll see Blackpool, you'll then see a nuclear power station not far above.
Look closer. Heysham Power Plant, literally across the bay from the north fylde! Cleaner than Sellafield, mind (google pool 32!)
WOW, OP, just WOW, S&F, and a FRICKING STRONGLY worded letter to the MP round here!

Dock8 your post is really just confusing...
Because there have always been earthquakes in Japan we should be suspicious of an earthquake in Japan
Because there was an earthquake in Newcastle Australia we should be suspicious of an Earthquake in Newcastle
Really it doesn't make sense, perhaps that there have always been EQ's in Japan and Aus there will always be MORE EQ's there, perhaps just perhaps the were natural disasters, not everything is a conspiracy.
If you want to look at conspiracy, look at how everyone rights are being eroded, look at how the banks have killed the monetary system, look at 9/11, look at the link between the military, the banks and the government, maybe look at the possibility that HIV was manufactured along with H1N1, there are thousands of things to look at.
But there being earthquakes in places where earthquakes normally happen to me is not a good place to start, geomagnetic activity, solar flares, even mythical planets causing more is reasonable to me than shale drilling to cause a tsunami on NW uk. Earthquakes in earthquakes zones are just that natural earthquakes

I remember reading about that, it's a bit like how they are going to rename Aspartame. It's all a con!

The 1957 reactor fire at Windscale was possibly the most serious nuclear accident to occur outside the Soviet Union. Large amounts of assorted radio-isotopes were released. Where did they go, and who was affected?

Gas is found in enormous cavities under the sea bed - the pressure of the gas stops the chambers from collapsing in and causing Earthquake - when emptied - Oh dear no pressure - CAVERN COLLAPSES
perhaps we could plug upthe caverns with the global elite and their lackiesedit on 1-4-2011 by artistpoet because: (no reason given)

You got it - Did you know they put radio active isotopes in drinking water in some USA STATES - Oh well they must know what they are doing right - and we should all STFU
