They're basically the premise for the film Taking Liberties, along with a few more. There are some, like the Inquiries Act, which bans any inquiry with any power from operating independent of the Government and the Civil Contigencies Act, which allows all sorts of things (banning of free movement, repeal of nearly any law, forcible taking of possessions) at the stroke of a pen by a Government Minister (who doesn't even have to prove who he is). Nick Clegg is to be commended for being about the only high-profile politician who's made a list and a fuss about it.

a) Do they?
b) How does this mark them out as unusual?
