Can someone confirm whether or not TOR would work and if possible an explanation why (if true) it wouldn't.

I am trying to raise awareness on an airline based message board which obviously has many aircrew members- good people to have onside I think. Being IT useless I need some help!
The easiest way to avoid Phorm is simply moving to a Phorm free ISP. Personal recommendations are Aquiss and UKFSN (having discussed Phorm with their owners, I'm certain they will not touch Phorm with a bargepole). Other quality ISPs include the Anti Phorm League.

BadPhorm has got tips for leaving BT & Virgin.

TOR would fox Phorm, but it also exposes you to risks...

If you run a TOR exit node, you would not know who was using your ISP account to surf the net (yet you would be held responsible for their traffic).

And you would not know where your own web traffic was ultimately emerging.
