Hmmm. This is a tough one. It has to do with sound. A E I O U and sometimes Y are our vowels. But Y doesn't work in the case of the a/an articles. A eunich. A yoke. A yolk. The yuh sound is the exception. I need coffee to go into this with more eloquence, but this is what I have for now.
"UK" is pronounced like "you-kay". The "U" part, despite being a vowel, is pronounced "you", in which the "y" is functioning as a consonant, thus requiring an "a" instead of an "an".
Try saying it both ways to see what sounds and feels better. Repeat both ways several times. Which one feels correct? It should feel intuitive. "A UK" should be easier to say and just sound better than "an UK".
I did so when typing it up and said to myself that if it’s wrong, I bet someone will say something. It didn’t feel right I was just going off the rule.
Yes,but those leave behind bodies and you have to be very careful about evidence. But some random person completely covered who just comes up behind them,knocks them out,stuffs them in the truck of their own car,and drives it to the middle of nowhere to dump the body and then stripes down the car for parts to be sold on the black market is a lot harder to track.

"A UK" vs "An UK"
It's about flow.

Can't help but notice that these things only seem to happen where Whites are disarmed by the state. Take note.
