I wouldn’t worry too much about that, Damien - this thread went off topic a way back now! |
Usually by family/old school/ University chums, or family of old school/University chums…
From Wiki about Johnson
Quote:
In late 1987, through family connections, he began work as a graduate trainee at The Times.[81] Scandal erupted when Johnson wrote an article on the archaeological discovery of King Edward II's palace for the newspaper, having invented a quote for the article which he falsely attributed to the historian Colin Lucas, his godfather. After the editor Charles Wilson learnt of the matter, he dismissed Johnson.[82]
Johnson secured employment on the leader-writing desk of The Daily Telegraph, having met its editor, Max Hastings, during his Oxford University Union presidency.

And as for the person whom the thread’s about (before you moan about "off topic" again).
Quote:
|
He joined his family business, British Leather Company, in 1979, becoming Sales Director in 1983 and managing director from 1993 to 1999.
|
Joins the company at 23, Sales Director by 27 - no nepotism there, I’m sure…
