Del is a national treasure

Hear, hear.

His mental strength and self belief is second to none considering the losses he's had.

'War', describes Chisora to a T.

 

Hes a a right fkin tool .. up your standards

 

All too true, mate

Apart from one or two performances in his career, where he lacked motivation at times, he's always had self belief and determination.

He'd get busted up on a Saturday night, maybe feel sorry for his self for a short time and then he was always good to go.

You either have that built in stubborn mental strength or not.

AJ as a classic opposite example for instance does not.

 

Indeed

Jimmy Savile got one too

The more mentally unhinged you are, the greater your chances are it seems

 

I shouldn't get involved in this, as @UniversalPart was clearly making a crap joke. But this idea that everyone knew Saville was a nonce unfortunately wasn't the case.

Saville was knighted in 1990. At the time, most people saw him as a British eccentric who had a gift for fundraising. Almost a saint like figure to some.

Personally as a child I never liked watching him on TV as there was something off about him, others probably will say the same. But most people at school seemed to enjoy him, and Jim'll Fix It continued to run until 1994.

In 2000 when Louis Theroux did his now infamous documentary, he was still seen as an eccentric who had become a recluse. So even if we some would say there were obvious red flags in it, most didn't think much of it. In truth, he was even seen as something of a cult pop figure among Millennials.

Sure some people found him to be creepy even in the 70s, but most had no idea. The supposed smoking gun of what Johnny Rotten said in 1978 was actually a really innocuous comment in the context of the interview he was giving.

The reality was that the BBC and others in the establishment did a very good job of protecting him, sadly. Rightfully a national disgrace, and even more so that more heads didn't roll.

 

Jimmy performed a great duty to the crown.

Grooming and sourcing victims for those sick elitists.
