If you are a UK resident and have an adult website, legislation states that no nudity (cock/tits/vag) can be seen before a customer verifies their age *enters their credit card details*.
So you can have your blog, you just have to cover up anything that constitutes nudity.
If your business is registered in France, it makes no difference. If you "operate" in the UK, you are liable.
Do they have porn police? Ask some of the companies ATVOD fucked over
Ofcom now regulates On Demand services | Ofcom (they have now been merged with Ofcom)
They will drag you into court like a dirty criminal, tell you that your endangering minors and hit you with huge fines (Playboy got fined a LOT of money)
+ shoot your name all over the mainstream press.
Might not be porn "police" but certainly not far off...
On the flip side, you can have a UK company that sells porn. You just can't reside or operate inside the United Kingdom.
Essentially, look at it this way.
If you run a tube site in the UK... Before a surfer can see any video, thumbnail or anything, they have to give you their credit card information to verify their age (despite the fact a large percentage of adults in the UK don't own a credit card).
It's never going to happen. That is why right now the UK government are trying to bring in new legislation that states, if sites like PornHub "Don't do what the UK says" .. they will block these sites for the whole nation..
Here is some interesting reading. There are mirrored articles on Xbiz ect.

$500,000 fines for your porn blog..
