I love to live this lie
I doubt using servers hosted in the UK will have any benefits that come close to outweighing the disadvantages. The UK has much higher than usual levels of monitoring of internet traffic than other countries. In say the US, sure the NSA may be monitoring your emails but if you are doing anything that might be of interest to them then email isn't what you want wherever it's hosted. In the UK the law is written in a way that the data can be used in any situation where you break the law. e.g. downloading some music or the local council wants to double check you council tax status and it's all fair game. (Well I think the courts recently tried to strike down the law for being illegal but you get the idea.) The UK is probably a worse than even the US and after brexit it's probably going to be the worse place in the world.
