The problem with this idea is that media here in the UK (the red tops, Daily Mail, tv news etc.) would just turn on you, berate you, and then, eventually, ignore you. The headlines would start something along the lines of: "Arrogant American tax-dodgers refuse to abide by the law... and take it out on you!", or, "Facebook choosing terrorists over us!" Promptly follow that up with reports about the number of UK jobs at risk. All the focus would end up being on the social and economic consequences rather than the cause, and eventually the sheep would turn on you as well... or, worse, just learn to live without you while still being apathetic to the Governments assault on their liberty.
