If you run your own VPN will they not just log traffic from the endpoint (if in the UK) then tie it to you with billing records?

Depends where you're running your VPN. If you're running it on a server in the US they might not have access to that information.

Skip the US. Our surveillance agencies are in bed, and American VPN providers can be strong-armed with an NSL. Use a VPN incorporated and with exit points in a more neutral/second-world country.
