Nope. UK sovereignty and jurisdiction stops at their borders. Furthermore, until the UK is no longer part of the EU their ''rules'' are contrary to the EU directives and null in any court in an EU country.
The only things they could realistically do is regulate their local banks not to honor payment transactions to certain persons -- that would be a major pain in the ass. They could block the DNS resolution of the porn websites they do not like but that would not work out very well.
The same applies to any government's jurisdiction -- it ends at their national borders. If there is no corresponding law in the foreign country -- the foreign country's courts will deny the UK any standing to litigate.
I am sure Brits with money to spend will get around these rules rather easily. Overall, UK traffic will be down -- freebie traffic will not be missed by many of us.
