That has been proposed a long time ago here at FR, and probably elsewhere - I think during the height of the anti-US lobbying in the UN regarding Iraq is the first time I heard that. Probably has been around incubating for some time before that, too. Problem is that th UK has to get rid of their anti-US intelligensia first, too.
Yes, the intellectuals, who are mostly illogical and anti-intellecual, are very anti-US. But that is true on American college campuses too. The important thing is to stay in the debate and challenge the so called intellectuals and expose their pedantic nonsense based on sheer fantasy.
