    Born and Bred 7 Clive Swift

    Clive Swift Clive Swift is Reverend Brewer “Brewer lives life to the full,” explains Swift.“He knows all about the suffering and sadness in the world, and this makes him all the more determined to enjoy life. He likes a drink or two, follows the horses and dabbles in a bit of gambling, even winning a bob or two on occasion! He’s never married but he’s certainly had a few girlfriends, as he’s a bit of a ladies man. But the Bishop seems to know something about Brewer’s behaviour which is a cause for concern.” Reverend Brewer has seen a lot of life, so whenever anyone is in trouble or has a problem they go to him. “Brewer’s very sympathetic and wants life to be better for everyone. He would have been born towards the end of the 19th century and would have survived two world wars. He’s got lots of memories of the wars and is likely to have served in some capacity.” And he’s a popular resident in the village:“I think the character that Brewer is closest to is Mr Boynton, the shopkeeper.They are similar in age, although Boynton is self-educated whereas Brewer would have gone to university. But I think Brewer is sometimes a little bit hard on Wilf, the station- master, and in return Wilf doesn’t trust Brewer Clive Swift when they’re playing cards! Formerly married to writer Margaret Drabble, with whom he has three children – one of whom, “Brewer also has a great deal of respect for Arthur Joe, is a presenter on Gardener’s World.

Their reaction to the Arab Spring was especially marked because of a long-held feeling that strategic communicators from outside the state’s borders were purposely reinforcing domestic discontent. I characterize strategic communications as, most dramatically, investment by an external source in methods to alter basic elements of a societal consensus. In this essay, I want to examine what this process looks like from what might be called the “inside,” the view from the perspective of the target society.

  • Getting Off the Streets

    Getting Off the Streets

    AUGUST 2018 Chasing the Dream: Getting Off the Streets omelessness is the most difficult cycle of poverty to overcome. Transitioning out of the pattern takes resolution and commitment, but one organization — the Interfaith Homeless Outreach Council (IHOC) has made it its mission to provide effective outreach to the homeless in New Jersey. H Each year, the IHOC accepts a select group of 10 men to support and empower through a months-long intensive program out of homelessness. The men are freed from the streets of Camden and given the opportunity to work on themselves to regain their lives, dignity, purpose and independence. Chasing the Dream — Getting Off the Streets follows the journey of these men who’ve been living on the streets of Camden, but are ready to make a change for the better. Each man has agreed to participate in this rigorous program for individual reasons, but they share in the belief that they’ve hit rock bottom and they’re finally ready to seriously redeem their lives. Over the course of six months, the men live together as a group in temporary housing, set up in a homeless hospitality network of church and synagogue basements and community halls across the county as they detox, clean-up, attend 12-step programs, face temptations, wrestle doubt, pay fines and tickets for past grievances, attend counseling sessions, take care of their health, and find steady reliable employment as they learn to save money for a safe place to live upon graduation.

  • BRIEFING 'Assessment of Ten Years of Swedish and Dutch Policies on Prostitution' the Netherlands1

    BRIEFING 'Assessment of Ten Years of Swedish and Dutch Policies on Prostitution' the Netherlands1

    BRIEFING ‘Assessment of ten years of Swedish and Dutch policies on prostitution’ August 2012 The Netherlands1 In 1 October 2000, the Netherlands lifted the ban on brothels of 1911. Since then, several studies from the Scientific Research and Documentation Centre of the Ministry of Justice (WODC) and from the national police force (KLPD) have studied the impact of the decriminalization of procuring in the Netherlands. 1- The situation of persons in prostitution has worsened. The study ‘Daalder’2 carried out for the Ministry of Justice unveils that: • “There has been no significant improvement of the situation of persons in prostitution”. • “The prostitutes’ emotional well-being is now lower than in 2001 on all measured aspects”. • “The use of sedatives has increased”. • Options for leaving the industry were in high demand, while only 6% of municipalities offer assistance. 2- 50% to 90% of the women in licensed prostitution “work involuntarily”. These data were unveiled in 2008 by the national police force (KLPD) in a study on the sector of legalized prostitution entitled “Keeping up appearances”.3 In this study, the Dutch national police force gives a very worrying assessment of the law decriminalizing procuring. Direct cause of the study is the Sneep-case, where two Turkish-German procurers, together with 30 accomplices, were condemned for exploitation of and violence against more than 100 women in the Netherlands, in Germany and in Belgium. What is striking is that all the women, who have been exploited with extreme violence in the Netherlands, were in the legal, licensed, taxpaying and State sanctioned brothels. In Amsterdam, according to the national police, it is estimated that there are 8000 women in window prostitution; at least 4000 of them would then be exploited and abused every year.
