What is so wrong with expecting copyright holders to do their own policing? They are the ones that will be getting an extra £12billion per year in income after all.

Your first point is scaremongering again. You don't know that seven million people are going to start using VPNs because they want to continue pirating data and nobody can say what impact, if any, this would have on existing surveillance. Even supposing there was an impact which couldn't be dealt with via increased resources or a technical solution then the act could always be repealed.
HarryT has answered your second point. You are being disingenuous by claiming the ISPs will be policing people, it's more like they are no longer being allowed to turn a blind eye to their network being used for illegal activity.
