I have a similar understanding, what will be interesting is how the UK will enforce its rules. Facebook has its HQ in Ireland, which notable not in the UK. This also applies to most other US companies. Kinda makes me suspect that some companies will just ignore UK data protection law on the basis the UK can't do squat to enforce it.

Yes, same. Also, Facebook has Nick Clegg on staff. That suggests they've spent 2 years explicitly lobbying for whatever UK law changes they want, and will probably quickly get them.
