This is an unusual paragraph.  I'm curious as to just how

     quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it.  It looks

A department store in London is looking for two adults and two
teenagers to spend a week living in a shop window for their
store.  The Knightsbridge store Harrods and white goods maker LG
Electronics are auditioning people to replace the mannequins.
"The hope is that the event will be like Big Brother, where you
can see how people react with one another," said the spokeswoman
for the companies, Katherine Selby.  The four people that will
be chosen will be given training for a week on acting and their
media skills.  The "family" will be displayed between May 20 -
May 25 for everyone to see.  However, they will be allowed to
sleep at night in a London hotel.

The government have the power in an emergency to declare marshal law. But it dosn't stop there they can call almost anything a emergency the term is so broad. This includes loss of power to a home. As this power is used under a royal parogative, which is the power the royal family handed to parliament after the civil war. This is the ultimate law and allows the PM to make any law he chooses with out having to go though the channels of parliament. So in a nutshell the PM can declare Homelessness an emergency have all the homeless people shot and there is not a thing that anybody can do about it. There is nothing stopping him ever undeclairing an emergency he can just go on. The last PM to use the Royal parogative was Tony Blair when he declared war on IRAQ without the backing of Parliament and there was nothing to stop him.

In layman's Talk.

To tackle online infringement of copyright, by placing obligations on Internet Service Providers to work with rights holders and, if necessary, to take technical measures against infringing subscribers. It also provides a power for the Secretary of State to introduce Regulations for rights holders to seek a court injunction to prevent access to specified online locations for the prevention of online copyright infringement;

This gives the government powers to access everything you do and wright on the internet.
