No you did not state any specific groups but you did ask the question in an earlier post which clearly implied that you feel that there is someone or some groups out there lining their own pockets.

I think it is high time that people realised that integration does not require setting up of groups to solicit funds. It requires a desire to become part of the society in which you live. That's all. If such a simple concept can entrench itself in the minds of the 'do gooders who promote positive discrimination' then we may get some integration after all.
Are these organisations lining their own pockets or are they really setting up community centre after community centre for the benefit of society. I know not, but it is food for thought. Sometimes quite literally.

I asked you if there were an specific groups that you feel that I should be investigating as I do not have the time or inclination to go wading through the integrity of every single community group in Hyndburn.
