If you had any interest at all you'd be familiar enough with RSRE to
know that there's only one or two non-English posting per year since
the groups foundation. Since you clearly don't read it then it
rather begs the question how you've reached the conclusion the UK
needs its own group.

I don't think it begs the question at all. The uk.* hierarchy is
independent of any other Usenet hierarchy.

What's the plan then, replicate every newsgroup in the rec hierarchy
to the UK?

Obviously not , but if sufficient people want a uk... group to cover a
particular subject and are prepared to say so then the idea shouldn't be
ruled out automatically just because a non uk group covers a similar
topic.

I would go further: if sufficient people want a uk.* group to cover a
particular subject and are prepared to say so, then the fact a non-uk.*
group covers a similar topic is of no relevance.
