I can remember back in the 80's there being a story about some medals being awarded to some skinheads who had helped get people out of a train carriage after a serious crash so it's not always been that way,the story has always stuck in my memory as they didn't go to collect their medal from the Queen as they couldn't afford to get down to London and it was in the papers,I sometimes wonder what they did in later life
