With domain names I suggest ethical use; so if we are going to use them, or
it is so similar/recognisable that we don't want others using it, or there
is a high liklihood of spammers using them, or it is too specific a domain
(i.e. miss-spellings of Wikipedia) for it to be useful to anyone else - then
get them.
wp.org.uk could be useful to someone else - so lets consider whether it
really is necessary.
wm.org.uk seems a good idea to get. wm.co.uk I don't think is needed.
Just my 2p anyway :)

Online you have worldpress. Within the UK you have two police forces
and that widening participation program.
Isn't that a good thing? Get some resale value? Maybe WMUK
could retain ownership and lease them out - i.e. total control to ensure
they aren't misused, maybe even a profit.
Okay, that's all hypothetical, but my point was that competition isn't
necessarily a bad thing.
Grab a few, I say.
