London Mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith found this to admire about Israel, as he recalled at a Conservative Friends of Israel lunch this week.
Staying once at a boutique hotel in Tel Aviv, he said: "When I arrived, I felt I was the only man in the room - it certainly felt like women's night.
"Then it dawned on me after a few moments, that it wasn't women's night.
"It was transvestite night. And my wife was the only woman."
