Negev Evening with Boris Johnson MP

JNF UK EVENING WITH BORIS JOHNSON MP RAISES £15,000 FOR THE NEGEV

Boris Johnson wowed an audience of 200 at an event last night hosted by the JNF UK Negev Committee in conjunction with the Israeli Investment Bank FIBI. £15,000 was raised for the JNF UK Negev Campaign which is currently building homes, schools and other infrastructure for five new communities in the Negev Desert

Johnson spoke passionately about his Mayoral Campaign and his plans to improve London, particularly in terms of transport, phasing out ‘bendy’ buses and clamping down on rowdy teen behaviour. He also intends to redistribute funds allocated by ‘Mayor leavingsoon’ for causes such as ‘The European Space project’.

Johnson was keen to emphasise his neutrality on the racial issue confirming that he would not be meeting any Muslim radicals, ‘In me you will get a Mayor with no homophobia, no anti-Semitism.’ When asked whether there was any likelihood of London being twinned with Jerusalem he answered in the affirmative, ‘I really can’t see why not.’

JNF Chief Executive Simon Winters said, ‘We were delighted to host the colourful mayoral candidate Boris Johnson MP, whose speech was entertaining and powerful. It was a fabulous evening and a great way to keep supporting Israel for life.’

‘It was a pleasure to host this in conjunction with FIBI Bank, and I look forward to a continuing close relationship,’ said JNF Events organiser Avril Fleishman.
