I think the term do-gooder has a different meaning to many of us!

I am not against anyone who collects for charity or has feelings towards people who have been or are receiving harsh treatment, but in my mind the ones that I class as do-gooders are the ones that have their blinkers on and are only looking at helping a certain group of underdog.

The people that I consider to be do-gooders usually pick on one particular group and concentrate all their energy and emotion in that direction, in most cases totally ignoring the plight of other groups including their own.
I have allways beleived in the saying that charity starts at home, and I admit that I never give money to charities that distribute it to foreign countries.
I suppose I will be labelled as a nasty person, but I think in many cases money is thrown at them to assist without looking at the root of their problem.

However much we all disagree, we can not get away from the fact that mnay of the asylum seekers especially the bogus ones make a lot of effort to make it the last little stretch to the UK.

I just wish I had a couple of empty houses that I could rent out for asylum seekers because a local council is paying almost double the going rate to rent properties for them! (FACT)
