If i copied that and put it on my blog Googlebot will find out and kick my ass for it right?
What if i changed it like this:
England Prostitutes in the red light district of Ipswich, England, are being warned by the police to stay off the streets. This happened after the bodies of two more women were discovered today.
Is this enough to create a unique text in Googles eyes?

I think Google is the least of your worries in this case.
Take a look at the small print of the site you are taking the text from and you'll see that it's a copyright issue to alter the text in any way shape or form. Keep altering the text of a BBC/ AP/ [insert wire service here] report and you'll find your host pulls your site pretty quickly rather than face a suit.
Don't worry about altering the text - as far as google is concerned, your serp will be based on RELEVANCY rather than originality. Copy the text word for word, but don't quote the entire article. Instead, copy part of it and link the rest in a new window.
