I think do-gooders exist, they are in small numbers but are powerfull because they use methods to make people guilty when they expect fair treatment.
We have one in work, he will just shut off when he doesn't like what the vast majority are saying, he will always argue and ask us for proof that people are cheating ie: benefit of people coming into this country for freebies.
The news carried a story about 10% of NHS patients not being entitled to the treatment they are receiving, we were talking about this and he walked away rather than get his views shot down in flames. He also thinks that every single assylum seeker or illegal immigrant is coming into this country to seek work and pay tax! He constantly goes on about how we should help our neighbour and how our taxes should be raised even further to help those less well off.
The real bit that gets me about this guy is how unhelpfull he is to everyone around him, he takes great delight in others who have a problem in the workplace.
Oh, and he's a born again Christian.
