Yes, but that was my point, hypothetically I decide to move my site out of the UK’s jurisdiction, then I can quite happily break the UK law, and, realistically, there won't be any consequences at all.

Well OK, OFCOM might get a Court order to instruct the large ISPs to block access to my site - but see how well that worked in the case of, say 'The Pirate Bay', blocked by Court order so completely impossible to access in the UK - you think?
