I can not comment on the source of the BBC tornado images - if one of them is yours then email them!
Due to the research that TORRO (http://www.torro.org.uk) in the UK have done over the last 30 years we know that we get on average 33 tornados per year – which is not bad considering the size of the UK. We tend to have high shear / low instability environments but yesterday we had surface obs of 24T/19Td and this released a fair amount of cape.
Here is the front page of one of our newspapers which gives you an idea of the damage caused in Birmingham.
