Please break apart my idea and find as many faults as you can.

Bugging out would be the nightmare scenario for me. How would you feel if you can back to your home and someone else had taken it over? Found your supplies and was comfortably ensconced. Let's face it, the UK just isn't big enough for all this "escape to the country" stuff. Make friends with your neighbours; organise a defence committee if need be; sort out your water - lots of butts and a large fish pond should be a good start; and prepare to defend your property if necessary. Co-operation is the key here and a group of determined defenders is going to be far more useful.
