    That is one of the Leafhoppers (Cicadellidae family). We get several species in the UK.

    Note the long, stout and spiny rear legs.

    More information, and images, are available here. http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/gallery.html

    Please excuse the lack of clarity but this shot was taken at my desk using the lap top camera with a rather large live Cicada that was moving.
