On a lot of garden programs they all say they don't like or use peat
why
is this?

Because the peat takes a long time to create (many centuries if not
millenia) and it is being excavated to extinction by commercial users.
This destroys a major natural habitat.

In all fairness, the amount of peat used by gardeners is minuscule when
you consider the amount burned in peat fired power stations.

Are there any in the UK?

There were lots in North Germany.
