You are just speaking in generalities so there is no debate on any specifics. I don't think you are on the inside -- just bluffing. Here is your opportunity to prove me wrong -- go for it!
UK says: we are going to make you do this -- you figure out how to do this at you own expense ... bollocks
Markham has no valid opinion because his income will not be affected -- he sold his interest out years ago and with very little to offer, still refuses to go away.
If you want to dispute my numbers -- by all means ...
Bottom line the are 280 some countries in the world and they could start passing these laws anytime they want. And you will be boxed in enforcing external governments' laws if you want their people as customers.
This is not globalization and free trade -- this is jack-ass governments banging their heads against a wall.
The US government took a similar approach and has been restrained in court many times. Maybe, they will pass a law like this, or rewrite the COPA Act based on any success of this UK law -- then you will have to pay to verify all your US traffic or be shut off from the root DNS servers in the USA. This is the slippery slope.
The UK war on porn will fail -- with you or without you.

Bluffing ?
ok whatever.
Allowed methodologies for AV are to be decided by the regulator. This will be the BBFC although this has not been officially announced yet.
We have lobbied hard within govt to ensure that age is the attribute that must be ascertained rather than identity, this leaves the way open for low friction methods such as a mobile DB look up.
We have also sponsored the British Standards Institute to create a PAS (Publically Accepted Specification) that AV methods and companies will be required to gain.
So Barry this is not a war on porn. We just want to separate consenting adults from accessing legal adult material, and children who might stumble upon some free tube full of wall to wall free unrestriced porn.
So - put in the AV method and make some money. Or dont, whatever.
