You have to consider Square's financial situation. Now, some of you may pipe up, "but they have lots of money!!!!". Well, yes they do, but they won't if they keep just dishing out their games to random locations. Square's biggest fanbases are from Japan and North America. The money they get from Japan and North America lets them know if they're going to earn enough money off it to release it to other countries. If they just randomly dish their games out in random locations without knowing if it will be popular, unpopular, etc, then they'd go bankrupt pretty fast or just lose a lot of money.
However, look at it this way. The UK don't get games last. There are countries (smaller ones, mind you) that sometimes don't even see the light of day with regards to Square games.
Also, the money they get from Japan and North America pays for the game's release to UK. If they release it to UK before Japan or North America, they lose the money that could be spent on releasing it to Japan and North America.
Keep that in mind, and have a nice day. =]
