Boris Johnson, Conservative candidate for London mayor has accepted to speak, on Wednesday 16th of April, 2008 to the French and Belgian expatriates during the last few days of the campaign.
EU citizen living in the UK are eligible to vote. This speech will be a unique opportunity to interact with a key candidate and ask him questions on issues such as Transport, Congestion Charge, Safety, Environment, Olympic Games, etc…
Short Biography – Boris Johnson
Few Londoners have entirely English descent, and Boris is no exception. He describes himself as a “one man melting-pot”, with French, Turks & Germans among his ancestors.Like many Londoners, this has not been his only home. He was born in 1964 in New York, moved to London when he was five years old and went to Primary School in Camden.
He later won a scholarship to Eton and Oxford and after graduating he moved back to the Capital. Much though he envies and admires the City, he lasted a week as a management consultant before retreating into journalism. Over the last twenty years, he has worked for The Wolverhampton Express and Star, The Times and The Telegraph, churning out well over a million words. He was editor of The Spectator for six years.
He fought Clwyd South in the 1997 General Election and in 2001, was elected MP for Henley. Since then, he has held shadow posts as Vice Chairman, Shadow Minister for the Arts and Shadow Minister of Higher Education.
