shouldn't it be the other way round? if the UK doesn't like something a non-UK company is doing it should be them that go through the trouble of blocking it.

If I have a website I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break some random country's law without knowing

Answering my own question, I guess it's exceptionalism of the powerful countries where they can just bully you into following their law

They're clearly working up to this; it's what happened with Pirate Bay, etc.

Why should they do anything when they can push the burden of compliance onto you?

They don't want (correctly) unfavorable comparisons to China's "Great Firewall" made, which most Western governments have lambasted in the past, so there's a PR/Politics side of it too.
