en-GB
en-GB means United Kingdom English, a form of English used not only in the UK, but also Commonwealth countries such as Canada (which uses a mixture of en-GB and U.S. English (en-US)) and Australia.
The microformats wiki re-uses the W3C Manual of Style Spelling Editorial Guideline (http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/#Spelling) and so generally uses en-US, not en-GB, for page names, and the contents of English-language pages.

en-UK
There is no "en-UK" language code although it is often used on web pages.
- ISO 3166 English country names and code elements (http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm) - lists "GB" for "United Kingdom". No presence of "UK" suffix.
