Ofcom have said that they consider geoblocking to be sufficient in writing, so at least they would probably lose any legal case brought against them.

Which would in turn cause the whole thing to be a farce, because then the solution would be for every site to geoblock the UK and then every person in the UK to use a proxy.
It is.
The problem here is that's what's going to happen instead of what ought to happen, which is repealing the law. And then some administration some years from now is going to stop ignoring the absurdity of it and decide to start enforcing the existing law against any subset of the ~everyone arguably now violating it that they deem to be wrongthinkers.
