So by this reasoning there should have been no "Python UK" conference 
for the last four years (in case you didn't know it ran as a track of 
the C/C++ conference, but ths track has now broadened to include all 
scripting languages). And what about the people who can't get the time 
and/or money to attend EuroPython?

Diversity is good, so it isn't one vs. the other. And the UK really *is* 
part of Europe (no matter how its politicians behave) :P
